That part of the dialog is broken. Even if you enter a 6 digit value, 
you do not get that color.

I expect, that if you enter a value, which would be valid in "three 
digit hex" or in "six digit hex" syntax 
[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGColor12/], then this color is set. Non valid 
entries should be indicated in the appearance of the field.

But I'm not sure, whether this field is intended to be an input field. 
It might be, that only viewing the actual hex values was intended. The 
old dialog, has no such field.

Kind regards
Regina
