Assigning color to variable and using with colorant

But how do I assign #5AC3E3 to a variable and re-write the code?

Here are a few options:

julia> using Colors, FixedPointNumbers

julia> c = colorant"#5AC3E3"
RGB{N0f8}(0.353,0.765,0.89)

julia> c = RGB{N0f8}(0.353,0.765,0.89)
RGB{N0f8}(0.353,0.765,0.89)

julia> c = RGB(0.353,0.765,0.89)
RGB{Float64}(0.353,0.765,0.89)

julia> c = RGB(reinterpret.(N0f8, (0x5a, 0xc3, 0xe3))...)
RGB{N0f8}(0.353,0.765,0.89)
