The documentation uses "#rgb" in the manner that CSS uses it, where the
'r', 'g', and 'b' represent a hexadecimal digit indicating the amount of
red, green, and blue to put into the color you are trying to define.
"#rrggbb" use two hexadecimal digits per color. "#aarrggbb" also includes
a two-digit hexadecimal value for the alpha channel (indicating opacity).

So, literally putting:

android:shadowColor=”#rgb”

in a resource will not work, since neither 'r' nor 'g' are valid hex digits.

You will find more about this notation at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

You can find any number of online color pickers that will provide you the
#rgb or #rrggbb values for a given color you select.
