I hadn't remembered that you *could* use names. The HTML editor I'm using doesn't do it that way. And as you say, the hex is more consistent.

Besides, since I know what the hex values *mean* it helps me figure out how to shift things.

For example, I'm considering a series of items that have to shift from CCFFFF to FFCCFF (long story) I'm I'd just sat there with color names, I'm not sure how I'd have tried to work it. At least with the hex values, I've got some ideas.
