CSS3

এটি opacity প্রপার্টি যুক্ত করে, এবং <color> মান তৈরি করার জন্য hsl(), hsla(), rgba() ও rgb()ফাংশন ব্যবহার করে। এটা currentColor কিওয়ার্ডকেও বৈধ রঙ হিসেবে ব্যবহারের সুযোগ দেয়।

transparent রঙও এখন একটি বাস্তব রঙ (আলফা চ্যানেলের সমর্থনের জন্য ধন্যবাদ) এবং এটি এখন rgba(0,0,0,1.0) এর বিকল্প।

এটা এখন সিস্টেম-কালার কিওয়ার্ড সমূহ, যা উৎপাদন কাজে ব্যবহার করা উচিত না, তা সমর্থন করে না।
