Oh, believe you me, the idea of throwing Pantone into the mix, along with CMYK did cross my mind. I am going to take a look at php4/pear/Experimental/Image (didn't see it before) and will take a moment to go back an look at my own code, and then decide what to do from there. I like Thomas's idea of having Abstracted colors, but not to the point of storing every color type in the same array. Some conversion can easily be done on the fly.
