Not by much. Do you know, without thinking, that FFFFFFF is opaque
white? Can you tell what color are 5453245, 4543262?
As you see, the text-based format does not make this more confortable
to edit, in the case of colors. It is more readable/modifiable than a
binary blob, but why would you need to modify it directly?

Additionally, XML is not meant to be edited or even parsed manually. If you want to use nice text based config files, don't use XML.
We already have the driver_settings format for this kind of usage.

Bye,
Axel.
