Thanks for reporting! 👍

@antonis, I did some quick investigation here and it looks like there's a possibility that the CssStyleFormatter.getStyleAttribute(attributes, CssStyleFormatter.CSS_COLOR_ATTRIBUTE) evaluates to an empty string here in the Aztec code.

The problem is that a recent PR you worked on for Aztec (wordpress-mobile/AztecEditor-Android#1079) removed the check for isEmpty (https:/wordpress-mobile/AztecEditor-Android/pull/1079/files#diff-b072035f2c70a485070535d72bcbd20b0fdbc44c3044bbb2fc8db4c8efa1929fL20) and this is causing a crash on Jetpack 24.7 (which is when the changes were picked by #20704).

I will assign this crash to you for further investigation if that's OK. Feel free to take a look and assign someone else if it makes more sense.

Btw, I think a possible fix is replacing the null check inside safelyParseColor with colorString.isNullOrEmpty

Thank you for the ping @thomashorta! Your investigation and suggested fix sounds reasonable to me.
I'm currently away from my computer and I would probably not be able to test and prepare a PR this week. If a fix is urgent please assign someone else on this.

@antonis I can help out as I am tasked with helping improve the crash free rate.
