CSS Color Alpha Values

Alpha values determine the transparency of colors in .midground {


CSS. Alpha values can be set for both RGB and HSL
background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.5);
colors by using rgba() and hsla() and
providing a fourth value representing alpha. Alpha }
values can range between 0.0 (totally transparent)
and 1.0 (totally opaque). .foreground {
The CSS transparent value can also be used to
create a fully transparent element. background-color: hsla(34, 100%, 50%,
0.1);
}

.transparent {
color: transparent;
}

255 for red, green, or blue. For example #ff0000 is
.short-blue {
all red, no green, and no blue.

#0000ff could also be represented as #00f .
