Although intuitively I would say the shorthand, however that is 
depending on the context being me knowing at least the basics of 3d 
spaces and having the pre-warning that you are going to mention 
something with either coordinates or colours.

Take away this pre-information, as you would when first reading an 
application, and all of the sudden the latter would be much clearer to 
the fellow programmer.
