800. Similar RGB Color

In the following, every capital letter represents some hexadecimal digit from0tof.

The red-green-blue color"#AABBCC" can be written as "#ABC"in shorthand. For example,"#15c"is shorthand for the color"#1155cc".

Now, say the similarity between two colors"#ABCDEF"and"#UVWXYZ"is-(AB - UV)^2 - (CD - WX)^2 - (EF - YZ)^2.

Given the color"#ABCDEF", return a 7 character color that is most similar to#ABCDEF, and has a shorthand (that is, it can be represented as some"#XYZ"

Example 1:
Input:
 color = "#09f166"

Output:
 "#11ee66"

Explanation: 

The similarity is -(0x09 - 0x11)^2 -(0xf1 - 0xee)^2 - (0x66 - 0x66)^2 = -64 -9 -0 = -73.
This is the highest among any shorthand color.

Note:

  • color is a string of length 7 .
  • color is a valid RGB color: for i > 0 , color[i] is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to f
  • Any answer which has the same (highest) similarity as the best answer will be accepted.
  • All inputs and outputs should use lowercase letters, and the output is 7 characters.
