well actually i would argue the common notation IS ARGB. because literally that
is HOW its stored in video ram on "pc graphics cards" (ie almost all graphics
cards on all systems - even apple ppc boxes). evas's textblock when defining
colors alos uses ARGB for #AARRGGBB (eg #88ff8800 == semi-transparent orange.
thort form is #8f80 if you only need 12 bits of color vs. 24bits, and if its 3
digits alpha is assumed to be 255 (full) ie #ff80 == #f80)
