I was just reading through the Web authoring standards document at http://www.htmlhelp.com/design/standards.html and I noticed the line

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?

I don't understand what is 'legal markup' for colors or what 'RGB specifications' are, but CSS specs don't favor any color notation:
