v4.5.6

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

The help text below the color selector shows the following:

RGB color in hexadecimal. Example: 00ff00

However, the field doesn't accept hexadecimal values.
https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/15024 seems to imply this is the intended behavior.

If this is the case, the text should be removed to prevent confusion.

Expected Behavior

The input field should accept hexadecimal RGB colors or the help text should be removed.

Observed Behavior

The field doesn't accept hexadecimal values.
