And if I click on that white box, I get values like "after-hsl(0, 100%, 100%)-space;"!

[PATCH] Smarter Regex

These two lines from StylesSidebarPane are where the action is:

> var colorRegex = /((?:rgb|hsl)a?\([^)]+\)|#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}|#[0-9a-fA-F]{3}|\b\w+\b)/g;
> var colorProcessor = processValue.bind(window, colorRegex, processColor, null);

The colorRegex's "\b\w+\b" breaks down "after-white-space" and pulls out the "white" in the middle. My simple solution was to throw a negative lookahead at the end of this section ensuring there isn't a "-" after this text. But I want to field you guys for some other possible edge cases, or solutions. My simple patch is attached.

[PATCH] Proposed Fix

I looked into cases of what could appear after a color in a valid value:

  - '$' for cases like "color: red;" where the value is "red"
  - ')' for cases like -webkit-gradiant's "from(red)", "to", and "color-stop"

These can be put into a positive lookahead at the end of the regex. Timothy Hatcher mentioned whitespace and a comma, which I think are acceptable to add in even though I can't think of cases for them yet.

This lookahead assertion can be used for all cases of colors, but is only practically useful for the \b\w+\b word section, so the patch only uses it there.

Note that this wouldn't handle a value like: "x-white", but no such case exists yet. The only existing tricky cases: "skip-white-space", "after-white-space", and "white-space" are handled.
