I'd more preffer to use XML file. Suggested solution by Kruba Patel will in fact force developer to remember HEX of color and also redundante of code.

Here XML resource example just call R.color.color_name please note that R.color.color_name will return generated int value :)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color
        name="color_name"
        >hex_color</color>
</resources>
