There are measures of readability, but I doubt there is such a measure 
everyone would agree on.

No it wouldn't be any more readable because it still wouldn't make *any* 
sense. Roof *is*not* LIGHTBLUE, it's color is LIGHTBLUE, seats[0] is 
*not* DARKBLUE, it is a Seat and it's color is DARKBLUE.

I read through this thread and still don't get it why you think that 
there is something wrong with this.
