Just don't re-declare the format in the second one. Also, if this is a color, don't you want the format to be "color"? As it is now, when you write a color of the form "0xfff" you will not get the right integer value for an aarrggbb color.
Oh and I am almost positive the framework already has a color attribute defines, so you could just use that.
