Apps Color Values

[RocknSteve]

While modifying some .apk's I've noticed that a lot of the colors that there are color values with 8 values. An example is "#ffac4444". I'm familiar with RGB, HEX, etc but I'm not familiar with this. I've Googled as much as I could (maybe I wasn't searching with the appropriate wording though) and I came up with nothing. Is it HEX with a transparency value added?

I know it's a rookie question but any tips is much appreciated!

That is a ARGB(Alpha, Red, Green, Blue). Alpha is a measure of transparency. The lowest value 0, indicates the color is completely transparent. The highest value 255, indicates the color is completely opaque.

Ah. Thank you! When I saw "#" I immediately thought of a HEX value and not of RGB since I associate that with RGB(x,y,z). Just a mind set from web design. Lol
