This is very speculative and hypothetical. Forgive me for being sceptical, but can you come up with a concrete and realistic example of what you think will break?

We were specifically talking about fixing the bug in color-name-to-rgb, I believe. It is subordinate to the main change, which we have not discussed at all. If you like, we could leave color-name-to-rgb alone, and we will see whether the change is needed when doing the actual work (color-dark-p).

That is a rather disparaging way of referring to fixes intended to make code working as advertised.

You were saying that #ffffffffffff is as good an approximation as any other, and I was showing that it's not.

The current state of affairs is that 'color-values' returns an incorrect value in certain cases. This can be fixed by making the code simpler and more robust.
