Fill in the fields of a color from a string specification.
The string can
either one of a large set of standard names. (Taken from the CSS Color
specification,
or it can be a hexadecimal value in the form #rgb, #rrggbb, #rrrgggbbb
or #rrrrggggbbbb where r, g and b are hex digits of the red, green,
and blue components of the color, respectively. (White in the four
forms is #fff, #ffffff, #fffffffff and #ffffffffffff.)
Additionally, parse strings of the form #rgba, #rrggbbaa,
#rrrrggggbbbbaaaa, if @alpha is not %NULL, and set @alpha to the value
specified by the hex digits for a. If no alpha component is found
in @spec, @alpha is set to 0xffff (for a solid color).
