Set a color with "ColorAbsolute"

Hello,

In Google Automation, I tried to set a color in a script. For that, I used the "ColorAbsolute" command.

OK for the light temperature as explained here : https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Smart-Home-Developer-Forum/Script-for-color-temperature-command/m-p/595048#M6487

But to set a color, the only way I found is to tell the name of the color :

actions: - type: device.command.ColorAbsolute color: name: blue devices: Light 1

It's a bit limited... And I would prefer use an hexadecimal or RGB code to set the exact color I want.

I tried spectrumHEX and spectrumRGB instead of "name", but it doesn't work...

Somebody manages to set an HEX code with ColorAbsolute ?

Currently "ColorAbsolute" in Google Assistant Automation doesn't directly support setting colors using hexadecimal or RGB codes. While it works for color names like "blue", it offers limited control for specific color selection.
