hsla function
| Input type | Output type |
| float, float, float, float | color |
The hsla function constructs a (transparent) color from four floating-point values that specify the hue, saturation, luminance, and opacity of the color.
The hue ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 is red, 1 is yellow, 2 is green, 3 is cyan, 4 is blue, 5 is purple, and 6 is red again.
The saturation and luminance range from 0 to 1. If the luminance is 0, the resulting color is always black. If it is 1, the resulting color is always white. Fully saturated colors are obtained when the saturation is set to 1 and the luminance is set to 0.5.
The opacity also ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 is fully transparent, and 1 is fully opaque.
Examples:
hsla(0, 1, 0.5, 1) ; red hsla(4, 1, 0.75, 0.25) ; almost transparent light blue hsla(0, 0, 0.5, 0.5) ; half-transparent gray hsla(0, 1, 1, 0) ; fully transparent white
