Since UAs are allowed to render without sRGB, and CSS specs note RGB colors are not necessarily high fidelity without sRGB, then perhaps these 16 keywords can not only be deprecated, but also be given their RGB values back from HTML 3.2. That way, rather than guess, we know those sixteen names do not match everywhere. Whatever the answer turns out to be, I thank you for your reply. Susan Lesch
