Color land and water

The land and water parameters of pygmt.Figure.coast specify a color to fill in the land and water masses, respectively. There are many color codes in GMT, including standard GMT color names (like "skyblue"), R/G/B levels (like "0/0/255"), a hex value (like "#333333"), and a gray level (like "gray50").
