Would it really?  Would it stay clearer to the new programmer for more
than two or three minutes?

I don't think it would.  At worst, the new programmer has to look up
coordinates, once, and then we're back to the state where calling them
x, y, and z, or calling them r, g, and b, is MUCH easier on the new
guy.
