Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

I was pasting in HEX values and was quite surprised at what they showed.

The color on the left is what it's supposed to show, the color on the right is what it actually shows.

The problem has something to do with it mixing around the numbers (it has the 61, 187, 210 correct, just in wrong order - and one of them was applied to alpha as well)

Try pasting #FF3DBBD2 instead.
I'll fix this by checking the length of the code.
Thanks.

Fixed. Now it will work like this:

If you paste #A1 or just A1: It will apply 0xFF to the alpha value and 0xA1 to RGB.
If you paste #F411 or just F411: It will apply 0xF4 to the alpha value and 0x11 to RGB.
If you paste #F41122 or just F41122: It will apply 0xFF to the alpha value and 0xF4 + 0x11 + 0x22 to RGB.
If you paste #FFF41122 or just FFF41122: It will work as usual.
