[Newbies] Color>>hex doesn't work ...

Hi Steve,

Ah, I see! I should have checked my Seaside image ... :)

We might be able to make use of Color class>>hex: here in any  
case ... replacing the Color>>hex method with something like

hex
	^ (self class hex: self red),
	(self class hex: self green),
	(self class hex: self blue)

might work. I'm of course still not sure why the other method does  
what it does; #printPaddedWith:to:base: should probably be fixed in  
any case. Color class>>hex: takes a different route to do the  
conversion.

This implementation of Color>>hex is terser as well - if it works,  
I'll submit it as a patch to the Seaside mailing list when I get a  
chance.

Hope this helps,
Ben Schroeder
