I checked this as well, it looks like `rainbow-mode' is mode sensitive
(among other things to consider).

I've looked at it too, it has a lot of functionality (including hs[vl]-rgb
conversions). And defines more colours. However it is more heavy weight
and CSS specific.
If I have a right to vote, I would try to include some funcionality from
`css-color-mode' into `rainbow-mode', because of both of them have
potential, and rainbow-mode seems to be more generic...

I think it would be a right thing to do, but also see above.
Just mine two cents.
