unfortunately the color picker only returns hex colors, even if you use something like the Developer Color Picker, which has HSLA: http://www.panic.com/~wade/picker/

hopefully at some stage the color picker will be hooked up for rgb(a), hsl(a) and named colors. until then you’ve got a couple of options: * use the Developer Color Picker (add to ~/Library/ColorPickers/, restart) and press “Copy with declaration”, then paste over the hex color * use a snippet like hsla in https://github.com/desandro/CSS3.tmbundle (I’ve forked this and improved it a bit: https://github.com/oli/CSS3.tmbundle but the hsla stuff is the same) * use an online tool like http://css.coloratum.com/

PS hex color with alpha is planned for CSS4, eg: #11223344 translates to rgba(17, 34, 51, .27), and you can already use it … in IE filters ;)
