Was this meant to be added to the solarized package, or to the in-tree
`color-rgb-to-hex' function?
Yes the in tree one, I added the change locally to that theme to avoid getting the rounding issues but I forgot to remove the prefix when posting to the e-mail list.
I am really not sure if rounding should just always be applied or if it should be optional, I can't see many situations when you would not want to round but at the same time it will change colors in existing code ever so slightly.

I don't know, either. Is this related to bug#41544, perhaps?
I don't think color-distance has anything to do with color.el at all.
Fixing these small value changes doesn't practically change much as far as I could see except that color-tests.el maybe shouldn't assume that it's own internal functions are correct when testing.
I mostly want good test data for the ciede2000 function, there is probably good test data available here but it's unlikely to be usable in emacs due to licensing.
http://www2.ece.rochester.edu/~gsharma/ciede2000/ I might resume work on finding better test data a little later and then create a patch of it all.
