 Replying to [comment:18 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > If we know the current/default color (the screenshot suggests that we
 do), can we use its HEX value as a placeholder, instead of some random
 value?

 +1.

 > There is a chance that the underlying setting associated with the
 control would lack a default being defined, and in that case no
 placeholder would be shown.

 Is this because a theme or plugin might not define a default, or something
 else? In that case, could we show something more obviously a placeholder?
 Like: `ex: #ff0000` (Specifically using "ex:" here to say "this is an
 example, not a real value")
