In engineering it is often considered convenient to define colours even more precisely, such as by FED-STD-595 codes, or RGB values in computer graphics, e.g., 12/146/244*. [Just to be technically snooty :/]
*And no, just a straw example so do not know what that one is.

when it comes to computer colors, even RGB values can be different. depending on OS or browser.
colors made with 0, 3, 6, 9, C, are supposted to be the same on ALL browsers.
003300 should be virtually identical when viewed on but 103310 could be surprizingly differnt!
Pantone is another standare (used by print media,and some programs like photo shop can calibrate your monitor to give 'pantone value' colors.
these various standards correct the various names/ideas about what color is what Red--even 'true red' can be very subjective! just as (as has been discussed) A or middle C is subjective.. is the value for C 440 H? or some other number?) you can get an idea even when slightly out of tune, but music definately sounds better when there is a commonly agreed on value!

All the monitors need to be perfectly calibrated and in the same viewing environment to be seen as true representaions(due to different coulour temperatures, fluoro, as opposed to daylight)LCD and plasma monitors reflect light differently as well, 003300 should be virtually identical when viewed on but 103310 could be surprizingly differnt! Hexadecimal equivalents of RGB In the second colour red and blue have been added into the mix creating a slight difference. Java and HTML interpret the colours almost identically as well.

colors made with 0, 3, 6, 9, C, are supposted to be the same on ALL browsers. In the 216 "web safe" colors, each R, G, or B value is either 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, or FF. This was back when many computers could only display 256 colors at a time and Windows and MacOS each had 40 different colors reserved. If you picked a "random" RGB value, the OS\browser on a 256 color display would have to pick some color to replace it.

Bluish or grayish green. [From Latin caesius, probably from caelum (sky) So...did Caesar have blue(ish) eyes? Is that why he was named that? (She asked, wondering if it was documented somewhere, not remembering much about Caesar herself.)
And...the link didn't work, for me. :-(
