Just a thought... why not implement some standard LSL constants for the group of basic colours? It's all well and fine to tweak vector values when you want to fine-tune the colouration of something, but if I want to spit out some generic red text, I think typing 'RED' is a lot quicker than < 1, 0, 0 >. :D

RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, VIOLET, PURPLE, WHITE, BLACK, GREY?

GREY is kinda questionable... since there's about a bajillion different shades of grey.

Okay, I admit it. I'm lazy and don't like typing vectors everywhere. :p

Add CYAN and MAGENTA too. I'd love to have color constants.

Oooh ooh, and HOTPINK. :D

Hehe, but seriously, magenta and cyan would be good, for all those CMYK lovers out there. :)
