Great tip for a quick way of doing one off calculations. ❀

Why in the world would you need a table to convert numbers to hex?

If you are doing a design and working with say 10 elements that all need their opacity fine tuning a table is many times faster than writing (0.8*255).toString(16) then (0.75*255).toString(16) then (0.72*255).toString(16) etc. etc.

So tables certainly have their uses. πŸ‘

Not convinced, another round?)

If I'd be fine-tuning 10 elements I'd use a browser color picker 😎

dev console color picker with opacity and conversions

TouchΓ©.

It is a good thing I added a "skip this long table" link then so people can get past it 🀣.
