that's an awesome error message. somehow it's burping up the code that it's
using to parse that stuff.

oh, and thanks for filing the report here with an example, much 'preciated.

Yeah the error burp got me also irritated, but its pretty handy, isnt it :)
Tells you where to look

the fix needs to happen inside app/preproc/pde.g:

in there, the code that parses to see if a web color is in use:
{ Preferences.getBoolean("preproc.web_colors") &&
w.getText().length() == 6 }? // must be exactly 6 hex digits

needs to return a proper error if it doesn't read properly, seems to be
falling through instead and coughing up the weird error.
