Sorry, I don't understand: what list are you talking about?

A comment will help, but I'm actually wondering why does css-mode need
to use 12-bit or 16-bit per component RGB notation? Why not use only
8-bit, as in #RRGGBB? The problems only happen in converting 8-bit
RGB notations to higher number of bits.
