Item9336: Manage.pm seems to have a very odd idea of what a valid htmlColor is

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

sub _isValidHTMLColor {
    my $c = shift;
    return $c =~
m/^(#[0-9a-f]{6}|black|silver|gray|white|maroon|red|purple|fuchsia|green|lime|olive|yellow|navy|blue|teal|aqua)/i;

}

doesn't even seem to contain the pretty normal lightblue, darkblue variations, let alone the reality that there aren't that many that we can't get it right.

basically, the list of 16 is the html4 spec - but browsers have been more intellegent for years.

see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#h-6.5

what about rgb() and from css3, hsl()&hsla(), html 5, there's also rgba()

added the extended color set - apparently its been in universal use for the last 5 years - and its a real pain to discover that a color name you're used to using causes foswiki to refuse to create a web.
