Placeholder compatibility for colour strings.

This is barely any compatibility though since these strings are everywhere, and every single one would need an check if \255 were to stop working.
Commented out Script.IsEngineMinVersion because it isn't useful, so I don't want it randomly applying if it happens to decide to work at some later point.
