I was running the LESS compatibility tests in combination with Java/Rhino and found a lot of regressions especially related to colors.

E.g. in test/less/whitespace.less the following is defined:

```
.no-semi-column { color: white }
```

and the expected css (test/css/whitespace.css) expects:

```
.no-semi-column {
color: #ffffff;
}
```

Note that In LESS 1.1.4 Java/Rhino this was working - white was translated to #ffffff - but I wonder how this works... is there something special that white is translated to #ffffff.
And is something changed between 1.1.4 to 1.2.0 in this area.

A lot of the compatibility tests which were running successfully on my side before are breaking now on the color...
