I also noticed that google returns an hex value with 9 digits `#00FFAAFF` (alpha included on hex).. but in the future we will ignore the remote color anyway and use our own palette.

if we limit the amount of chars we should do it on https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/calendar/js/views/calendar_colors.js#L101 - but don't worry about it, the day view patch will fix the color issue.
