Bug description

RGB colors do not work in messages_xx.properties files.

Steps to reproduce

1. Make an essentials_en.properties file.
2. Try to use RGB codes as described in the changelog from when they were added to EssentialsX.

Expected behaviour

RGB should work.

Actual behaviour

RGB doesn't work. The hex code is simply returned without # and §.

&x&r&r&g&g&b&b

That was it, how dumb and stinky :( thanks a ton

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you need to do the dumb, stinky way of doing color codes, which is something like: &x&r&r&g&g&b&b, but you may need to do § instead of &
