In interactive usage, set-background-color provides completion, to ease
the burden of typing the long color names. The fact that you cannot
choose hex notation there is a side effect of that completion. I think
completion is more important than the ability to use arbitrary hex values
interactively, in this case.
It ought to be possible to support both forms, and provide completion
that works only in the case of the color names and is a no-op for #
colors. That would be a good thing to do.
