Many slider-style colour pickers not only display the colour as you
slide the pointer around, they also display the RGB numbers. Would be
nice if the FF background colour setting used these instead of hex.

More generally, Pantone and RAL are AFAIK the two most widely used
colour standards in industry. Eg, the odds are that your car's paint is
a RAL colour. Their systems are somewhat easier to use than hex numbers.

A lot of browsers - including FF - will accept a range of common colours
- e. g. FONT COLOR=red - not just the very common ones like red,
yellow, black, and white, but I think getting on for 256 (or possibly
240) of them (things like lime and so on).
