isColor(c('red', 'steelblue', 'green3'))
isColor(c(1,7,28))
# mixtures are possible too:
isColor(c('#FF0000FF', 'red', 1, '#FF0000', rgb(.1,0,0)))

# return colors:
# note that 28 is converted to 4...
isColor(c(1,7,28), return.colors=TRUE) 
isColor(c('#FF0000CC', 'red', 1, '#FF0000'), return.colors=TRUE)

# 4 incorrect colors, 1 correct:
