According to the docs, hex RGB colors are designated thusly:
Case-insensitive hex RGB or RGBA string.
'#0f0f0f''#0f0f0f80'
However, I’m finding that for some reason hex color codes are ignored when specified with a hash in a style sheet, to whit: text.color: 'ff0000' works, while text:color: '#ff0000' does not.
I’ve tested some other formats [rgba, X11/CSS4, xkcd] and they all seem to work as expected. Am I being bone-headed or is this a thing?

EDIT: this is with respect to the text.color attribute, which I’ve reflected above. I’ll test some others to see if they display the same behavior.
