Hey Punamhans,

You can convert the hex to its RGB components and add an alpha value. For example, #FF5733 becomes rgba(255, 87, 51, 1).

To learn more about CSS colouring format, follow this guide given on CSS rgba() and get detailed insights.

Hey Saniya,

Thanks for the resource It was really helpful to add to your query to convert Rgba to HEX You can use CSS Preprocessors (Sass or Less) : CSS preprocessors like Sass or Less offer built-in functions to convert hex codes to RGBA. This can simplify your stylesheet management and ensure consistency across your styles. Solution :

$color: #3498db;
$alpha: 0.5;

.example {
    background-color: rgba($color, $alpha);
}

Less Example:

@color: #3498db;
@alpha: 0.5;

.example {
    background-color: rgba(red(@color), green(@color), blue(@color), @alpha);
}

Hope this helps.
