If I enter AA, I would expect it to be #0000AA, that is, zeros added at

AA -> 0000AA -> RBG 0,0,170
but the color picker shows RGB 170,170,170 ...
Which should be the expected behaviour?
What I would expect is:
ABC -> AABBCC
This is the (unnatural for programmers, but popular) CSS shorthand
hexadecimal notation used in web pages.
And with fewer than three digits, convert to grayscale:
AB -> ABABAB
A -> 0A -> 0A0A0A
With 4-5 digits, return an error.
But like your following examples show, this is highly subjective (even
though the three-digit pattern seems rather consistent).
I think the proposal above makes sense because people used to handle
hexadecimal color values are likely to use one hex value to mean a shade
of grey or three hex digits for the shorthand hex notation.
