I've finally managed to get relative CSS colors documentation published on MDN. This was a complex beast to tackle, and I'm proud to see it out!

@chrisdavidmills thanks for showing me how it was fixed! I tried submitting a change to some webkit docs and got completely ghosted... How often do the MDN docs get community contributions?

@smilebags We get absolutely loads of community contributions, and often struggle to keep up; it's the eternal open source struggle ;-)

If you submit any fixes in the future and don't get much response, feel free to ping me in the PR thread.
