<pre>It's not. It's possible that I misclassified the enhancement.
The goal is to fulfill a growing need of web designers ( and brands more specifically ) to specify web color using something more than rgb.
An interesting example would be Coke. Their "brand" red is specified as PANTONE. They do this in order to achieve color correctness independent of where the color is output ( every coke can you see is the same red even though they were most likely not printed by the same printer ). The same could be achieved on the web by extending the "html color names" to also contain PANTONE names. Coke could easily specify their red color on their website using the same named color they use for anything else and thus achieve high brand color fidelity on the web.</pre>
