That's a cool feature, and one I have not come across before. I hesitate slightly because this it is non-standard (by that, I mean not available in a lot of "mainstream" formats like CSS, SVG etc.), but maybe that's just because they aren't as cool as matplotlib... ;) The nice thing is that the "!" isn't meaningful in color strings at present, so this new syntax is at least unambiguous with anything pre-existing.
I'm for it, but would like to hear from others first.
