The Four Digit Hex Color can be used as the shorthand for the 8 Digit Hex Color. Four Digit Hex color can be used to define the color of your elements with CSS like 8 Digit Hex Color. There are 8 characters in 8-digit hex color that shrinks to 4 in 4-digit hex color but performance is the same as the color. In the 4 digits, the 4 characters are followed by the hash(#) like #RGBA. Here the R defines the Red, G defines the Green, B defines the Blue and the A defines the Alpha Channel which affects how much transparent it will be. 

Syntax:

#RGBA

Note: Here the Red, Green, and Blue define the colors with fewer variants compared to 8 and 6-digit hex color and the last character represent the Alpha channel. 

Example 1: In this example, we are using the above-explained method.

html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS 4 Digit Hex Color</title>
    <style>
        body {
            background-color: #666600;
        }
 
        h1 {
            color: green;
        }
 
        article {
            background-color: #FFF4;
            border: 5px solid green;
            margin: 15px;
            text-align: center;
        }
    </style>
</head>
 
<body>
    <article>
        <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
    </article>
</body>
</html>
