input type=color is specified to define a simple color:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#simple-color
While alpha information is useful, it's not really a color attribute is
it? Using type=color paired with type=range for alpha would serve fairly
well in most cases, I believe.
How do the people more into design feel about this? I'm mainly a coder
myself.
