Thank you for your responses. Given that the framework requires colors in string format in its style APIs, I think it should provide some way to convert colors to strings as expected by these APIs. Otherwise, clients are forced to implement this bridging logic on their own, due to a framework gap.
And given that Color already parses these string representations, I think it makes sense for it to provide the inverse conversion.

Just make a utility method for whatever format you desire, instead of making Color responsible for half a dozen ways of formatting colors, and then probably still missing some format that someone needs.
