Well, the general idea was that you're providing four color components
and you're not supposed to be looking behind the curtain at the internal
representation (which may not match any given platform's hardware
ordering).  If everyone uses the helpers here to pack/unpack the
components, then that avoids accidental differences in interpretation
between different platforms.

But I'm fine with changing the names; I'll do that when I incorporate
Sean's suggestion.
