 * Hi [@paaljoachim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/)
 * Following my last post concerning column height, I finally uploaded Gutenberg
   and it works great.
    The feature to set background color on column is helpful
   but there is no option to set color transparency RGB is only R G B not R G B 
   a Hex I have tried with #000000FF, it does not work, is it wrong color hex including
   transparency ?
 * Do you have a solution to set transparency on column background ?
    If option 
   is not, is it possible to consider it in future update ?
 * Thanks
 * Regards
 * Johan

 * Hi Johan
 * I made a search on Github and found these issues:
 * [Add background colour transparency to blocks that support background colour](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/18095)
   
   Here is also a link to the included Pull Request which has over time for whatever
   reason stopped up: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/25421](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/25421)
 * [Cover Block: Allow Opacity Option For Gradients/Colors](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/32339#issuecomment-852689727)
 * So it looks like it will be added. I assume it depends on when a developer picks
   it up.

 * Hi
 * You can add a transparent background color to columns by using the gradient background
   color option instead of the solid background color.
    1. Add or select any gradient background.
    2. Click on a control point.
    3. Reduce the opacity. When you reduce the opacity, the **rgba** settings will 
       show.
    4. Enter the values.
    5. Then select the next control point, an add the same values.
