[Feature request] Add function to convert between rgb and hex notation
Summary
polished is a very powerful library to processing colors, but some enviroments only support the hex notation format.
Therefore, is it possible to add new functions to format the color format or add a new parameter to rgb functions to restrict color string type (but there are too many functions).
Basic Example
const Format {
auto: 'auto', // Default
hex: 'hex',
rgb: 'rgb' // Need more precise wording
}
toColorString({ red: 255, green: 205, blue: 100, alpha: 0.72, format: Format.hex })
// '#ffcd64b8'
// Or new color function
toHexColorString({ red: 255, green: 205, blue: 100, alpha: 0.72 })
// '#ffcd64b8'
// A simple workaround
export const toHexColorString = (color: Object) => {
if (typeof color !== 'object') throw new PolishedError(8)
const colorString = toColorString(color)
const maybeRgbaColor = parseToRgb(colorString);
if ("alpha" in maybeRgbaColor) {
const { alpha, ...RgbColor } = maybeRgbaColor;
return rgb(RgbColor) + Math.trunc(alpha * 255).toString(16)
}
const RgbColor = maybeRgbaColor;
return rgb(RgbColor)
};
Reasoning
Some environments do not support all CSS features.
For example, vscode theme config
Color values can be defined in the RGB color model with an alpha channel for transparency. As format, the following hexadecimal notations are supported: #RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB and #RRGGBBAA. --vscode theme color references

I wanted to use polished to produce a 7 character (#xxxxxx) hex color so that it can be used by HTML5 <input type="color"> but polished produces shortest possible hex, which doesn't work with the native color picker.
