Just my $.02

Having two different multipliers for colors and coordinates seems like a
solution that could bite us in the behind if we have to update them
later. 

An interesting point would be how much we're actually gaining/loosing
from adding a 4th step to the multiplyer? Seing how it should be
possible to pipeline it, we shouldn't have to sacrifice a lot of
performance to gain accuracy?
