[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081030-laszlo-2 Summary: Color example 3 gives warnings.

[P T Withington]

I agree.  There are 2 ways to specify a color in CSS:  a color name  
(where the name is one of the 16 css color names), or RGB.  RGB has 3  
forms:  hex (#0000ff), percent (rgb(0,0,100%)), or numbers in the  
range 0-255 (rgb(0,0,255)).  It would be nice to show all those  
possibilities.

We used to allow the kludge of specifying the color as a string that  
could be parsed as a number ('0x0000ff'), but that is not true CSS, so  
we have deprecated it.  It was really only a work-around for our  
incomplete CSS parser.
