JSON schema definition for rgbcolor is hexadecimal about apidocs HOT 4 CLOSED

My preference would be to either rename this to hexcolor or keep it as rgbcolor and provide the individual color components instead.

Personally, I think RGB has more cross-platform use.

Why do you expect that?
This is entirely standard CSS color representation.

I thought it was strange for something called "rgbcolor" to not have red, green and blue components.

I wasn't thinking about CSS but imagine most people would have a similar expectation based on how prevalent the idea is.

Some examples...

• http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp
• http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp
• http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

@py do you have suggestion for better name?
