question about foregroundColor setting

I have the following statement in my handler:

set the foregroundColor of the last line of field "chatField" to msgColor

If I manually set the variable msgColor beforehand to "#000000" it works
fine.

But if I take the value of msgColor from an array element (I think this is
what is causing the problem) I get the following error:

Type    Chunk: can't set attributes
Object    mainCard
Line    set the foregroundColor of the last line of field "chatField" to
msgColor
Hint     #000000

You can see that the value of msgColor is the same as in my manual test. And
I logged it to make sure there were no extra characters in the color string.

Could the mere fact that the value came from an array element be causing the
problem? I don't see why...
