Improve color names to hex and vice versa

[XhmikosR]

WhiteSmoke is bigger than #F5F5F5 and so on.

I suggest that most if not all of these colors are supported.

This might be a good starting point: https://github.com/stubbornella/csslint/blob/master/lib/parserlib.js#L943

I think we eventually should have it. Thanks for suggesting.

It should also support translation from rgb()/hsl() to hex.
Also shorten #FFFFFF to #FFF for example.

hex.replace(/#([\da-fA-F])\1{5}/, '#$1$1$1');

[GoalSmashers]

@MayhemYDG - we already do rgb -> hex and color shortening (see specs)! A (lengthy) list of all optimizations is coming soon - see #35.

[nstepien]

Oh all right then. Still missing hsl translation.

[GoalSmashers]

We do hsl too - need that optimizations wiki page urgently :-)

[nstepien]

Uh? I use clean-css via grunt-contrib-cssmin and it's not translating hsl to hex.

[GoalSmashers]

@MayhemYDG please check if you use grunt-contrib-cssmin 0.4.1+ as they only recently bumped clean-css dependency to 0.10.x (we added hsl support in 0.8.3).

[nstepien]

% npm install clean-css
% cat main.css | ../../../node_modules/clean-css/bin/cleancss -o test.css

  Usage: cleancss [options] <source-file>
  ...

This doesn't even seem to work?

../../../node_modules/clean-css/bin/cleancss main.css -o test.css

It doesn't translate hsl to hex, looks like the issue does come from clean-css.
I'm on the latest node, grunt and grunt-contrib-cssmin.

[GoalSmashers]

@MayhemYDG - I was mistaken by another part of our code which handles HSL/HSLA cleanup. There's a ticket for HSL conversions now: #83.

[nstepien]

Great!

[GoalSmashers]

@MayhemYDG - HSL conversions ready in 8cf8283.

[nstepien]

Good job.

[XhmikosR]

Thanks! This was a much awaited feature. :)
