So it sounds like you really want access to the "used color", right? I
have no problem with whatever canonicalization we want for used colors,
or even computed ones. I'm just not convinced that _specified_ colors
should be canonicalized. That would lead to all sorts of weirdness like
.style.color not matching the string that appears in
getAttribute("style"), for example.
