Get or set the selected color. If no argument is given, this returns the currently selected color as a string in format #FFFFFF when the opacity option is off, or rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) when opacity is requested.

If one argument is given, it selects the new color and updates the UI. The argument can be a string in hex, rgb or rgba format, or a [Color][] object. This does not trigger the "change" event.
