Color seems over-specified?

[RussNelson]

The color seems over-specified for an RGBW bulb:
{name:"hue" , type:type.uint16_le},
{name:"saturation", type:type.uint16_le},
{name:"brightness", type:type.uint16_le},
{name:"kelvin" , type:type.uint16_le},
hue and saturation specify color one way, but kelvin sets the color another way. Has anybody figured out what color you get for various combinations of these parameters?

You can do lots of mixes with the Hue and Saturation, but you need Kelvin to turn on the whites as far as I’ve been able to work the protocol.

Just submitted a pull-request for documentation on a RGBW supportive packet type. Should make things easier! riverar@0c2f9d3
