SQL error on UCP groups manage page caused by setting color to 7 characters long string

Someone very crazy has allowed a 7 character long string for the group color on the UCP group manage page. Due to the fact that MySQL (and possibly other databases as well) only expect a 6 character long string a SQL error is thrown upon submitting which complains about the data being too long for the column (duh, has anyone ever seen a 7 character color?).
