Okay, not sure where or why the 'feature' came from, but it does NOT exist
in iOS either.
The other platforms ( Android and BlackBerry ) support #FF00FF00 aka
#AARRGGBB values.
Because the background can only be opaque, the alpha value should simply be
ignored. However, your code will reject it if the string is not exactly 7 chars
in length.
Also, we should support #FFF shorthand as well, for consistency with
BlackBerry.
