title: Discord.py: Using Variable As Discord Embed color
body: <p>so I'm trying to make a command for my discord bot that is an embed builder. I want the user of the command to be able to input a hex value for the color of the embed. Here is what I've tried:</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>value = message.content
  
  embed=discord.Embed(title='Hey', description=&quot;How are you?&quot;, color=value)
  await output.edit(content=None, embed=embed)
  </code></pre>
  <p>However when I do this I get the error:</p>
  <pre><code>discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: Expected discord.Colour, int, or Embed.Empty but received str instead.
  </code></pre>
  <p>How do I fix this? Thanks.</p>
