Broken color picker in JSON strings

[Kesuaheli]

When using JSON Text Components in a string, the color gets escaped in \" like this:
\"color\": \"red\" or \"color\": \"#ff0000\"

But the color picker does not quite work that well with these escaped quotes:

After changing the color in the color picker once, Spyglass breaks the JSON by

1. deleting the " from the first \" (resulting in a \#)
2. deleting the \ from the second \" (resulting in a ", which unexpectedly ends the JSON string)

Also: Is it known, that the color picker doesn't work at all when using color words like color: "red"?
