I am certain I am missing the context, but is this really related to
the #RRGGBB notation in any manner?  It really looks awful to me if
white gets defined as #ff00ff00ff00, so I'd like to be as bothersome
as to be grateful for some factual reassurance that we are indeed
catering here for a real instead of a perceived problem, and that the
fix in that manner is the right thing to do.
