DOS versions and 2.93b+ handling: ~ and @ are part of a color code if the next character is hex; ~ and @ always escape the next character if it is non-hex; ~ and @ are always consumed.
2.93 handling (not supportable): ~ and @ are part of a color code if the next character is hex; ~ escapes ~ only, @ escapes @ only; otherwise, ~ and @ are not consumed.
2.80 until 2.93 handling: ~ and @ are part of a color code if the next character is hex; ~ escapes ~ only, @ escapes @ only; ~ and @ are always consumed.

Note that color_string_length (formerly strlencolor) had different and broken handling, as did clip_color_string. These bugs are not worth replicating.

Some dialog boxes in Weirdland 9 are affected. (Reported by Terryn.)
