  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Use a color name to specify a color in FileMaker rather than RGB values.

Instead of specifying a color with separate Red, Green, and Blue values,
you can use some of the typical CSS web color specifications
(six-digit hex prefixed with "#" or named colors).

This function does the same as Geoff Coffey's Color(), but is faster
because it does not use a long series of Case tests.

Return type: Number
