Questionable Color>>rgbTriplet

The red/green/blue component of a Color are currently stored each on 10 bits.

That about 1024 combinations.

rgbTriplet return values scales between 0.0 and 1.0.

But why does it round each component to 0.01 instead of 0.001?

OK, it's not used in trunk image, but...

Perhaps because it matches Color>>shortPrintString?

Now with our accurate float printing, the rounding in rgbTriplet seems pretty useless - maybe we should just remove it?
