This function will take a HTML color as a string, and run it through some validation.
If $named (optional): is set to either 1 or TRUE it'll check if it was a named color first, otherwise itll first check for a valid Hex color that include thes hash (#) sign, and then will check for a valid Hex color that doesn't include the hash and add it to the color.
NOTE: If it fails anywhere along the validation, such as an invalid Hex color, no error notice is returned. You may want to add this in yourself, or perhaps return a default color, such as black, if it's needed for your use.
