143	hex color parsing kaput when code starts with number	Elaine Meng	Conrad Huang	"Apparently it gets confused with a model number. Although all the examples Greg sent me were for opaque red, which generally starts with ""#f"", there was this one mysterious example: #0xff0000

I was skeptical because I thought the correct hex RGBA for opaque red would be #ff0000ff, which does indeed work in Chimera2.  When the mysterious example didn't work I tried several other hex-RGB and hex-RGBA specs and they also don't work.  I don't know if the mysterious example above is really supposed to work, but just try any 3- or 6-digit hex RGB that starts with an arabic numeral, say plain old blue: color #0000ff

error message for that is ""expected keyword, got 'ff'"	defect	closed	major		Graphics		fixed		Conrad Huang Greg Couch				all	chimera
