Comments about colors

Does it make sense to anybody but me to demand writing comments about numbered color values in CSS? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Everyone who writes CSS probably knows what #000 and #FFF stand for, but I for one don't know that #C71585 stands for "MediumVioletRed" without looking it up on the English Wikipedia (or some other CSS resource). So yes, I wholeheartedly support using comments to write out the color name in plain English. After all, comments are cheap, just like space. --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 13:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
