REQUEST: please add a hexa()

[stevenvachon]

color: hexa(#abcdef, 0.5);

would output:

color: rgba(171,205,239, 0.5);

This is the same as:

color: fade(#abcdef, 50%)

Surely that's close enough?

[stevenvachon]

Yes. Thank you. I couldn't find it because it wasn't grouped with the color conversions.

Maybe add a hexa() to ensure that it's found in the docs? Also, it'd use decimal values instead of percentages, to be more similar to rgba().

Hmm, let's continue this here: #1665

[Synchro]

Well, hexa isn't a very good name because fade accepts a colour in any format, not just RGB hex, and I don't think it would ever occur to me to search for hexa - I'd be more likely to look for 'transparent' which leads straight to fade on lescss.org. There's already discussion about the percentage issue in #1665.
