One advantage of percentages is that it’s a general rule and thus intuitive that `100%` is a large value compared to `0%`, and it’s probably either the inherited/default or the maximum value – whichever makes more sense. A mere `1.0` or `1`, on the other hand, could be just a tad more than `0.0` or `0`, but it could also be on the other end of the scale – it’s impossible to know or guess without learning the conventions that apply. Please let’s agree that **unit-less numbers should remain the exception in CSS, not become the rule**. Put in other words, nobody should be encouraged to use `rgb(0, 100, 255)` (nor `#ABCDEF`)! -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/272#issuecomment-235075274 using your GitHub account
