     Equality support
     ----------------
 
+    Color objects can be compared for equality.

+        >>> Color('white')._is_comparable(Color('yellow'))
+        True
+        >>> Color('white')._is_comparable('yellow')
+        False
+        >>> Color('white')._is_comparable(255)

     Default equality is RGB hex comparison:
 
         >>> Color('red') == Color('blue')
         False
+        >>> Color('red') == Color('red')
+        True

+        True
+        >>> Color('red') != Color('red')
+        False
