The Web APIs use RGBA (E.g.
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/2dcontext/html5_canvas/#canvas-pixel-arraybuffer
)
Using that internally will prevent conversion at the boundaries
JS<->WebCore.

Internally, each port should be able to use any format. On some embedded
systems, it can be advantageous to use 24 bits colors (or even 16 bits
sometimes).

Where in WebKit do you experience problems with color conversion?
