In moving forward with those, we might want to cover what types of  
color spec to allow. SVG Print lists out a summary of types
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-SVGPrintPrimer12-20070501/#color


* sRGB color
     #3b3
     #33bb33
     rgb(51, 187, 51)
     rgb(20%, 73.333%, 20%)

* ICC Colors
     names an icc profile to use, and the values to feed to it. For a  
CMYK profile, there are four components.

* Named Colors.
     uses ICC named color profiles to look up colors by names.

* Device color
     device specific colors normally used for closed workflows.



Additionally, I've seen the use of flags for "registration" and  
"spot" to mark a specific color as a special case.

Anything else we'll need to cover?
