Super easy trick to change the opacity of dynamic colors!

Looking to change the opacity of a color from your database or an option set on the page, dynamically?

I looked pretty hard and couldn’t find anything on this topic so I thought I would post my solution.

Step 1: See the list under this post and find your desired opacity

Step 2: In the dynamic color field, find your color and then choose :append and type in your Hexadecimal opacity extension from the list below.

EX: (20% Opacity)

Thanks man, that’s super useful!

I do this by creating a field and setting the color to this field. Put in rgba(0,0,0,0.2) value and I update the field dynamically using a slider. 4th value is opacity percentage between 0.1-1. Eg 0.5 = 50%

Great tip, thanks

Well done, cheers!

Thanks for the tip! @ben29

Using it I created an option set with both the opacity hex and the decimal so now will be able to do heat maps!

Super pumped thanks!

Dude nice thank you!
