Stop conversion from color numbers to color names

I'm using version 3.2.419. I have some SCSS like this:

$alternateRowColor: #F5F5F5;

#myDiv {
  background-color: $alternateRowColor
}

Once I save it, the CSS I get is:

#myDiv {
   background-color: whitesmoke; }

Why does Web Workbench convert my original color value to a color name? It normally wouldn't be a problem but I use the latest jQueryUI (1.8.23) and the color animation effects parse colors from numbers or from some well-known named colors. As you may guess, whitesmoke is not one of those colors (check jquery-ui.js non-minified around line number 4058).

Is there a way for me to force Web Workbench to retain my original value? I can certainly edit jquery-ui.js to add this new color but that would just be circumventing a bigger problem and cause me some work each time I need to upgrade jqueryUI.

This is actually the behavior of Sass - see this thread for a fair bit of discussion on the topic: https://github.com/nex3/sass/issues/363

Use this directive on the 1st line of your Scss file to use compressed mode which will preserve the hex values.

//* scss-compile-options: --style compressed
