- Why xyzw ?
(a) In 3d programming, the notation of four dimensional vectors is common. The fourth dimension
is usually called w and is usually set to 1 or 0. This simplifies some notation, and can be
further exploited for perspective transform. Most 3d hardware uses vector registers
with components usually called x, y, z and w.
(b) rgba was already registered.

Sometimes computer nerds want to impress someone even more by doing a demo
