RGB for color specification?

RGB is a poor system for people to specify colors in.  I suggest that you
use something better (maybe HSL) for the CSS color specification mechanism.

A few weeks ago I asked the following of my undergraduate class:

	"What is Red in RGB?"
	"What is Red in HSL?"

Nobody was even close in RGB.  In HSL, several people came up with an
answer (and I didn't really teach much on this topic).  

Thanks,

James
