Expands a CSS hex color to it's longest form
Expands a CSS hex colour code. If the string passed is already a long form colour code then it is unmodified. If a short form colour code is passed, the longest form of the colour is returned.
Alpha ff will be added if no alpha is present in the colour code.
Example hex color codes:
#000 // black short form
#000000 // black long form
#663399 // rebeccapurple
#66339988 // ... with 53% transparency
#6498 // ... in short form
#FF0000FF // solid red with alpha
