color-64bit should not redirect to this as 16 bit integer per color may be used in the future for something.
Most noticeable benefit of 16 bit floating point numbers over the older 8 bit integer per color is the elimination of a graying effect that occurs with multiple transparent textures being overlayed on top of each other, or even having a single transparent layer over any other bright textures or light sources.
Uncertain when this was supported on hardware, but software wise DirectX 9 supported this (OpenGL support unknown). Pre-PS3/X360 era consoles didn't support this either.
