Ah yeah, supporting w3c standards is probably a sensible move.

I think it can be interesting to provide some string formats can be directly converted into color structures.
For example :
- plain color names : "red", "blue", "light gray",...
- hexadecimal : "#FF3CBB", "#FF3CBBAA" (same with alpha)
- decimal : "255, 158, 200", "255, 158, 200, 170"
...
I think to that cause I saw many times tools using pretty close syntax for color definitions but with boring variations (generally for the alpha position).
It is defined in a w3c standard and refined in a draft, but probably does not belong in the colour module, but a media-file parser module?
However, the at least the following colour spaces are mentioned as supported in w3c documents:
L*ab, L*CHab, HSL, HWB
