I think floats would be simplest, tho there would be three atoms in place of one.
Which is a problem, because a one-element specification for colors is needed as well (e.g. to pass colors as abstraction arguments, in data structures etc.)
What makes this requirement one element for color? Changing the
format will break backwards compatibility anyway, so you could change
one to three elements. I think 3 floats would make things much
easier to use, like [colorRGB].
Personally I like hex colors, but I'm used to them from web work.
If it must be one element, then hex colors would be the way.
