expected expression

I'm trying to create a dialog menu to boot players out of the game, with their name on the button. I have checked my trigger over and over again and I can't seem to find my error, it won't compile.

In every line where I create the button:

JASS:

set udg_BootDialogEntries[1] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c00800080"+a+"|r", 0))

I get a compile error saying "Expected expression". I tried almost everything to no prevail. I have similar functions that create the buttons and set them, but I can't seem to get this one to work. Can anyone help me find my mistake or inform me what I'm doing wrong here?

JASS:

function BootMenu takes nothing returns nothing
    local string a = GetPlayerName(Player(1))
    local string b = GetPlayerName(Player(2))
    local string c = GetPlayerName(Player(3))
    local string d = GetPlayerName(Player(4))
    local string e = GetPlayerName(Player(5))
    call DialogClear(udg_BootDialog)
    call DialogSetMessage(udg_BootDialog, "Who do you want to boot?")
    if (GetPlayerSlotState(Player(1))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING) then
        set udg_BootDialogEntries[1] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c000000ff"+a+"|r", 0))
    endif
    if (GetPlayerSlotState(Player(2))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING) then
        set udg_BootDialogEntries[2] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c00008080"+b+"|r", 0))
    endif
    if (GetPlayerSlotState(Player(3))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING) then
        set udg_BootDialogEntries[3] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c00800080"+c+"|r", 0))
    endif
    if (GetPlayerSlotState(Player(4))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING) then
        set udg_BootDialogEntries[4] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c00ffff00"+d+"|r", 0))
    endif
    if (GetPlayerSlotState(Player(5))==PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING) then
        set udg_BootDialogEntries[5] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, ("|c00ff8040"+e+"|r", 0))
    endif
    set udg_BootDialogEntries[6] = DialogAddButton(udg_BootDialog, "Exit Menu", 0)
    call DialogDisplay(Player(0), udg_BootDialog, true)
endfunction

Jazradel	JASS: ("\|c00800080"+a+"\|r", 0) I think the brackets around that are the problem.
