The input length for the hex color is now limited to 6 characters and
the support for colors starting with a '#' has been dropped. The allowed
input length of 7 in prosilver seems to have been a relict from old ages
of phpBB3. In order to have proper support for correct checking of the
colour value, the new code was also ported to the ACP groups manage page.
The tests have been modified to reflect the changes to the behavior of
the color check. Tests for the ACP will follow.
PHPBB3-11538
We are now using a regex with preg_match() in order to properly check
if the entered color value is in hex color format or not. A proper
error message is triggered if an incorrect color value is entered and
the prepended '#' is removed if necessary.
