feat(Color): add helper methods from_hex, to_hex, lerp closes #94

- Add Color.from_hex(hex_string) class method for creating colors from hex
- Support formats: #RRGGBB, RRGGBB, #RRGGBBAA, RRGGBBAA
- Add color.to_hex() to convert Color to hex string
- Add color.lerp(other, t) for smooth color interpolation
- Comprehensive test coverage for all methods
