title: Convert 8-digit hex colors to rgba colors?
body: <p>Everything I've found on this subject simply converts the hex to rgb and then adds an alpha of 1.  I want to get the intended alpha from the hex digits as well.</p>
  
  <p>A color such as <code>#949494E8</code> or <code>#DCDCDC8F</code> clearly has an alpha value that's not 0 or 1.</p>
