iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Student 16,023 PointsIn rgba and rgb, the 'r' stands for 'red,' the 'g' stands for 'green,' and the 'b' stands for blue. In rgba, the 'a' stands for 'alpha.' What the alpha value does is create an opacity or transparency for the color. For example, and alpha value of 1 is completely opaque, while an alpha value of 0 is complete transparent. A value in between, i.e. .5, or 50%, is half-transparent.
Does that help? You can read more here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value#rgba.
