Same problem as bug 18894. We'll have to change the memory model to fix that and 
it won't happen before Version 2.

So it is returning four values, one for each top, right, bottom, and left.  Why 
was it chosen to return rgb values when hex codes are most commonly used?

No idea. Let's ask our DOM guy, Johnny Steinbeck.
Johnny, can you tell?
