There's no color-rgb-to-rgb.  There's color-rgb-to-hex and
color-name-to-rgb.  And I don't think the changes are incompatible.
Please show examples if you think otherwise.

The changes make the above 2 functions compatible with all the other
color calculations in Emacs.  IMO it makes no sense to have color.el
make assumptions about RGB components that are different from
everything else in Emacs, as doing so will only produce subtle bugs
such as the one which started this bug report.
