New description:

 When you copy a color code from a block by clicking the color code via the
 color selection menu, it is automatically copied in this format: `#000000`
 However, when inserting a color code in the textfield of the color
 selection menu, the string of text is automatically truncated at 6
 characters, which leaves the user with `#00000`, an invalid color code
 which always results in the color black.

 The best solution would be for the text field to be able to accept both
 color codes with and without the #.
