Using color as string in mixin parameter (lesscss)

Question

Basically I want to use a string that may contain keywords like 'red','green' or 'blue'. However LESS converts it to hex values like #ff0000 instead of red.

Example

.foo(@className) {
    .bar_@{className} { color: white; }
}

Using the mixin

.foo(red);

should output

.bar_red { color: white; }

but instead it shows

.bar_#ff0000 { color: white; }

How do I escape or cast the parameter as a string? Thanks.

Try .foo(~"red"); might work...
