Bug Description
Hi,
I want to know if colors I choose in the graphics will reproduce properly
when printing or when used on the web.
Like, how can I make sure that it is a true CMYK, Pantone, or web color?
The color palette has different names for different color ranges, but I'm
not sure how to understand them. If this program already has features for
what I want, please tell me about it. If not, maybe they should be
implemented.

The general term often used for that is "Color Management".
We're just now getting more support added in.
Technically the RGB colors used in SVG are in "sRGB color space" and
*should* be manageable, but most end users web viewing will mangle things
to various degrees.
One additionally warning is that there is no single "CMYK" color space.
(Watch for more in docs as soon as base CMYK support shows up)
