Description

FEATURE REQUEST for a NEW PLUGIN.
I would love to use micro for everything but there are occasions that I need a color preview.
I recently installed neovim and had to learn installing plugins to get what I wanted.

To accomplish what I am looking for would be to have a plugin that behaves similar to https://github.com/RRethy/vim-hexokinase I use the let g:Hexokinase_highlighters = ['background'] for my color editing.

I have also been using the gui text editor, LiteXL which has a lua script as a plugin called colorpreview.lua.

Research direction

Start by comparing the referenced vim-hexokinase behavior with LiteXL's colorpreview.lua plugin and its background-highlighting configuration. Define the micro plugin's scope and expected color-preview behavior before implementation; done means colors are previewed in the editor in a comparable way.
