Alpha channel not working properly using `hex8` mode in Nova 3 (v `1.2`)

[reppair]

Hi there.

I am having issues using the alpha channel in either hex8 or rgba mode using version 1.2.2 of the package. Not sure if the problem is also present in v2 and Nova 4.

HEX8 mode (#rrggbbAA notation)

Using Color::make('hex8')->chrome()->displayAs('hex8')->saveAs('hex8') - picked example color #6657aa94

• will properly store the picked color with the alpha channel to the database - #6657aa94
• won't properly render the color on details page using the hex string - it uses background-color: rgba(102, 87, 170, 0.58); instead of style="background-color: #6657aa94;
• won't properly load the alpha to the color picker when editing a record to change the color

Actual	Expected

Note it would be nice if the main color (the square) also is updated with the proper color after the picker is closed (or even while the color picker is open).

Let me know what do you think. I could work on those fixes and enhancements this weekend maybe.

These seem like valid issues. Pull request is more than welcome.

Will be able to look into it this week.

The rendering of the color as rgba regardless of passing hex(8) to it seems to be out of scope here.

See: https://github.com/vuejs/core/issues/2998

Updated the issue to reference only the alpha problem when using hex8 and got a PR for it here #15 (for v1 - Nova 3).

Will create a separate issue for the alpha problem when using rgba since this will be harder to fix. The issue there is a bit more complicated and will require more time to fix and refactor. Maybe can give that a try when I got some free time but for now I am happy with hex8 working properly. 😺

Thanks for the PR! I merged it and released it in version 1.2.3. :)
