PR Summary

Added support for shorthand hex colors as described in section 4.2 of the current CSS Color Module Level 4 Working Draft from 5 March 2019.

Examples:
#⁠123 is interpreted as #⁠112233
#⁠123a is interpreted as #⁠112233aa

It is a minor change, and I did this mainly to match expectations for anyone coming from web design (myself including) and to make tasks like specifying softer blacks like #⁠333 or greys like #⁠ccc quicker.

PR Checklist

  • Has Pytest style unit tests
  • Code is Flake 8 compliant
  • New features are documented, with examples if plot related
  • Documentation is sphinx and numpydoc compliant
  • Added an entry to doc/users/next_whats_new/ if major new feature (follow instructions in README.rst there)
  • Documented in doc/api/api_changes.rst if API changed in a backward-incompatible way

Looks good to me - could you add a quick note in /doc/users/next_whats_new to advertise the new feature?

For reference this is defined at https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#hex-notation. Likely https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/colors/colors.html and a few other places will also need updating.

I added a line about the change in the colors.py and in the color specification tutorial, as well as a new entry in /doc/users/next_whats_new.

A link to the css spec (e.g. the one I posted above) in colors.py would be nice. (Probably not necessary in the tutorial as well.)

re-milestoned to 3.2 as we have not branched yet so it's going to be in 3.2 not 3.3.
