4 or 8 digit hex color codes are not recognized
See original GitHub issueDescription
Hexadecimal color codes using exactly 4 digits/places are not recognized in Sublime Text Buffers. E.g.:
#0000 which would mean “complete transparency”.
Those 4 digit codes are valid color codes in CSS.
Support Info
I am using Sublime Text v3.1.1 build 3176 with ColorHelper v2.5.1
- ST ver.: 3176
- Platform: linux
- Arch: x64
- Plugin ver.: 2.5.1
- Install via PC: True
- mdpopups ver.: 3.3.4
- markdown ver.: 2.6.11
- pygments ver.: 2.1a0
- jinja2 ver.: 2.8
Steps to Reproduce Issue
- Open a source file with color codes inside. The codes with 3 or 6 digits should get recognized.
- Type in a color code with exactly 4 digits. E.g.:
#F00F(should equal to pure red). - See that the plugin does not recognize the correctly written color code and does not draw a color box.
This issue is kinda related to #26, but this is the reverse: Detecting compressed codes.

CSS3 made sense at the time. All the colors were not supported fully in browsers at the time as I recall.
When I have time, if it isn’t already present, I’ll try to make the
color_scanningbehavior more clear.That is a CSS4 color convention. You’d have to enable CSS4 colors: http://facelessuser.github.io/ColorHelper/usage/#color_scanningallowed_colors.
