I was just reading through the Web authoring standards document at

Authors MAY use any legal markup to determine document colours, but 
SHOULD use RGB specifications to do so.

Does that mean that hex values or color names are not as good?  Why?

Some standards like WebTV uses RGB format to defne that colors.
I notice that all WebTV interfaces, are built using RGB standanrds to 
define colors.
