I'm not enough sure, but one of the simplest ways seems just to be:

if length(s) > 7 then -- "#BFBFBFBFBFBF"
        s = s[1..7]   -- becomes "#BFBFBF", almost same color
end if

At least for those 40 icons of that .zip, it could work.

Just output  - "Unsupported variant of XPM file format", instead of
something not enough clear about problems with "value()" or such.
