[Zope] Color names

[Jonathan Cyr]

My Two Cents,

The raw color names are more widespread since CSS 2.0, there is also a 
CSS shorthand #FFF is equal to #FFFFFF is equal to white.

My experience is you can use them all, interchangably, browsers have 
come along way in CSS compatibility... colors and the 216 color palette 
were.  Problem browsers have really disappeared due to Windows Update, 
OSX, and Mozilla.... at least when it comes to CSS and early CSS 1.0 
features like color declarations.   The HTML color defs have followed suit.

CSS is now worth learning, enough of it is adopted by major browsers.
