$\begingroup$ The hex codes should be (left to right, top to bottom) #168645, #e840ee, #9e8cdf, #f6f647, #40cac2, #8c86de. $\endgroup$– Reti43Commented Jan 20, 2018 at 8:49

First we extract the hexcodes of the colors:
#168645, #e840ee, #9e8cdf
#f6f647, #40cac2, #8c86de
As it turns out, each hexcode has an operation applied to them:
Leftmost notes are reversed, so we unreverse them:
168645 -> 54 68 61
f6f647 -> 74 6f 6f
Middle notes are doubled in length, so we halve the hex values (it helps that the digits are all even)
e840ee -> 74 20 77
40cac2 -> 20 65 61
Right notes are inverted in colors, so we take the complement of the numbers:
9e8cdf -> 61 73 20
8c86de -> 73 79 21
Finally we convert using ASCII:
T h a | t w | a s
t o o | e a | s y !
Or more readably, That was too easy!
For completion's sake, the hint explained:
Once again the hint had its colors inverted. Take the hexcodes and take their complements:
9edf97 -> 61 20 68
96918b -> 69 6e 74
Or, converted from ASCII: a hint
