I didn't removed this label because of lack of space. First this lineedit is 
special, because it's never empty (like Thomas said "the # ist the label") 
and gets constantly updated when the color changes. Everybody who knows html 
will know what this string means, the others won't care - where would they 
use these strings? Imho having a "html:" label right to a "#xxxxxx" entry is 
like adding a "click this" beneath every button.

Indeed they are defined using names. But to be honest i have never ever seen
that they get defined anywhere using Xcms-colors rather than Pantone (tm) et 
al which we cannot implement. Which programs besides xcolors can handle these 
color names?

Right, and that you have a use for it doesn't mean that it's a wanted 
feature.

Just forget about it.
