The rgb value for Firebrick is 178,34,34. RGBa extends the RGB color model to include the alpha channel, allowing specification of the opacity of a color. The "A" at the end of RGB just changes the opacity of the color.

rgba()

Colors can be defined in the Red-green-blue-alpha model (RGBa) using the rgba() functional notation. RGBa extends the RGB color model to include the alpha channel, allowing specification of the opacity of a color. a means opacity: 0=transparent; 1=opaque;

rgba(255,0,0,0.1) /* 10% opaque red /
rgba(255,0,0,0.4) / 40% opaque red /
rgba(255,0,0,0.7) / 70% opaque red /
rgba(255,0,0, 1) / full opaque red */
