Idiom #154 Halfway between two hex color codes

Find color c, the average between colors c1, c2.

c, c1, c2 are strings of hex color codes: 7 chars, beginning with a number sign # .
Assume linear computations, ignore gamma corrections.

numpy is standard for array numerics, and maps nicely to this problem.

numpy is standard for array numerics, and works nicely for this problem. We can represent a RGB value as a special numpy array.
