I found this presented as a solution in a 2016 post:

But when I try to use it, I get the following errors:

Warning: C preprocessor directive #e9e9e9 is not supported
Warning: C preprocessor directive #d6d6d6 is not supported

I thought it was odd having 'q' in front of the opening curly 
brace... is this a typo? Shorthand for "string quote"? Something 
like that?

Or do I need to escape these somehow?
