Categories text color is wrongly set to #FFF instead of #FFFFFF in import scripts, causing issues

I think the issue can be fixed by changing this line:

script/import_scripts/base.rb

0fa102b83


      
          
          post_create_action = opts.delete(:post_create_action)
          
          new_category =
            Category.new(
              name: opts[:name],
              user_id: opts[:user_id] || opts[:user].try(:id) || Discourse::SYSTEM_USER_ID,
              position: opts[:position],
              parent_category_id: opts[:parent_category_id],
              color: opts[:color] || category_color(opts[:parent_category_id]),
              text_color: opts[:text_color] || "FFF",
              read_restricted: opts[:read_restricted] || false,
            )
          
          new_category.custom_fields["import_id"] = import_id if import_id
          new_category.save!
          
          if opts[:description].present?
            changes = { raw: opts[:description] }
            opts = { skip_revision: true, skip_validations: true, bypass_bump: true }
            new_category.topic.first_post.revise(Discourse.system_user, changes, opts)

By replacing FFF with FFFFFF.
