Me too, a longer one :)

I just pushed a patch in Git that makes Color::Calc use '::WWW' 
instead of '::HTML', sorting hash keys so that color names are 
enumerated in a deterministic order and adapted almost all of the 
tests (mainly "gray"→"grey" and "aqua"→"cyan").

There is one test still failing, about "safe" colors.

Then I read your comments about removal :)

Uncertain what to do with the "safe" color conversion, looking at the 
aged upstream release, I decided to stop here. Maybe someone some day 
will find the patch useful.
