I have a Collection of color values in "RGBA(####,####,####,#.#)" format. When I use this as a color value:

LookUp('App Style Guide',Name = "App Bar Fill").RGBA

which outputs:

RGBA(0,0,0,1)

But when I use that as the color value for something I get "Expected Color Value". My workaround is to put the "RGBA" text on the outside and then pull in the values for the numbers individually:

RGBA(
 LookUp('App Style Guide',Name = "App Bar Fill").R,
 LookUp('App Style Guide',Name = "App Bar Fill").G,
 LookUp('App Style Guide',Name = "App Bar Fill").B,
 LookUp('App Style Guide',Name = "App Bar Fill").A
)

Re: Using String in RGBA format as Color Value

Why you store as hexadecimal value and using ColorValue("#FFFFF") to set the color?
