                         Hexadecimal notation: #RGB[A]
     R (red), G (green), B (blue), and A (alpha) are hexadecimal characters (0–9, A–F). A is optional. The three-digit notation (#RGB) is a shorter version of the six-digit form (#RRGGBB). For example, #f09 is the same color as #ff0099. Likewise, the four-digit RGB notation (#RGBA) is a shorter version of the eight-digit form (#RRGGBBAA). For example, #0f38 is the same color as #00ff3388.
