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!

This is great!

Is there a way to do this but instead make the dynamic color darker?
