The three ways you mention are the only three.
I don’t think a specific method is generally preferred, but as a developer, I like to see hex numbers.
I would avoid color names simply because if you want to know the true value of a color you have to look it up which is an annoyance in my workflow.
Also, hex numbers are the most compact way to describe a color (for most colors), so you might be saying a couple bytes of bandwidth by using hex. This doesn’t really matter, but it’s one of the only differences I can think of.
