Re: Cascading Style Sheets

L*A*B color is supposed to show every shade of color you can think of, but
does it really do any good? RGB can show more colors than CMYK can, but
there shades that CMYK is capable of but not RGB.

Even though L*A*B can show most visible colors, you can't produce anything
but the colors in RGB on screen and CMYK in print. CSS basically a screen
standard. I know it's being extended, but it's not an all-purpose
standard, and shouldn't be. Since it is basically a screen standard,
adding colors that can't be seen on a screen is pretty silly.

HLS is a good idea, but it all will come out the same, and I really don't
see a need to have conversions when the result is the same (and RGB is
machine-readable, too).

I would think that /at most/ you could have CMYK for "paged media," RGB
for screen.
