Basicly, We should be able to use HEX color values to make more custom things. like we could use

term.setBackgroundColor(#cc0000)

i know that in LUA, # gets the length of something, do maybe a special operator for HEX? like this

term.setBackgroundColor("hex", cc0000)

thats just my idea if how it would work. what do you think?

[LuaEclipser]

maybe a good idea would be you must load the colors you want?

colors.hexLoad(#CC000, #Adadad, #hex2455)

then use them

term.setBackgroundColor(hexDraw(CC000))

to prevent lag on how much colors it is using, it will just use the ones you load in

Or do it yourself.

Not happening.
It's been suggested before that we include hex colors, or a custom color palette. It was always denied because it is simpler, and more fitting within minecraft because there are only 16 'colors/dyes' in vanilla minecraft. This way, it is not overly complicated for anyone else, and that it minimizes issues down the road.
If you want more colors, use CCLights. I believe it uses more than enough for you to enjoy.

You can add the current colors (as defined in colors.*) as hex in Lua.

Well, you can use hex values like this:

local hex = 0x123FD

But you can't use multiple colors at the same time on the terminal, and that's not gonna change.
