Details:

HTML coding has gained in prominence over the last 20 years and colors are now
often specified by a hexadecimal string specifying the Red, Green, Blue color
values such as "#FF0088".

It is easy enough to specify a hex RGB triplet in Octave for a color graphics
property.  For example,


set (h, "color", [0xFF 0x00 0x88])


Still, I notice that Matlab has added support for a direct HTML hex string and
this seems like a nice feature.
