title: HEX color to equivalent RGBa, allowing for transparency
body: <p>For a given hex color code, how can I convert it to an <code>rbga</code> color code where a=0.97 and the rendered color is the same as the initial hex color?</p>
  
  <p>In other words, if I have <code>#ccc</code>, I need an <code>rgba</code> equivalent which stills renders the same color as <code>#ccc</code> but has transparency.</p>
