I would suggest leaving definition of named colors to the rendering software and user preference. In level 2, this could be handled by defining constants in the personal stylesheet. If someone ever develops an "industry standard" set of named rgb colors, users can add the appropriate @import directive to their stylesheets. Benjamin C. W. Sittler
