setting colour to white (or hex white) sets the color to null, which makes checks against it kinda whack-a-doodle
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1) run the code
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob/verb/colour_white()
color = "white"
world << color // null
world << isnull(color) // null af
if(color == "white") // it's not
world << "it's white" // it is
mob/verb/colour_ffffff()
color = "#ffffff"
world << color // its null again
world << isnull(color) // guess what. it's null
if(color == "#ffffff") // it's not
world << "it's #ffffff" // it is
Expected Results:
if(color == "white") should evaluate to true if the color is in fact white.
Actual Results:
it evaluates to false, because white is null

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Workarounds:
y'know, maybe this is a hidden message with political undertones, hidden within the engine as a commentary on our perception of colour and race, and how that's impacted society over the course of history.
or maybe it's just a bug
