I'm using Mutt in rxvt-unicode and I'm wondering why I can't assign hex
values to Mutts color attribute. Mutts manual sais, the color values can
be the eight ANSI colors, "default" and "colorx":
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#ss3.7

rxvt-unicode also knows additional 72 colours, a 4*4*4 RGB colour cube
and 8 more shades of gray. In addition, rxvt-unicode can even use hex
values like #00ff00, hex values with opaquenes percentage like
[95]#00ff00 and values like rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa:

Yet, Mutt only lets me specify color0-color7. Everything above gives an
error, also hex values and RGB specifications.

Why is that so? Why does Mutt not allow hex (or other) values for
colors?
