Cannot set alpha of a color via hexadecimal field
To reproduce:
1. In any project, open Color Picker (for example, in the Image component)
2. Try entering an alpha value of the color in the hexadecimal field
Expected: entering an alpha value in the hexadecimal field sets the alpha of the color
Actual: alpha of a color can only be changed with a slider
Reproduced in 2018.1.0a5, 2018.1.0b6, 2018.2.0a1
Did not reproduce in 2017.3.1p1, 2018.1.0a4
Regression introduce in 2018.1.0a5
By design: This was intentionally changed in the new color picker in order to promote easier copying/pasting between Unity's color picker and other applications. Most other graphics applications (e.g., Photoshop) do not put alpha in the hexadecimal field.

Unfortunately the built-in copy/paste does not work between Unity instances. :( It is local to one Unity instance; each instance has its own internal color copy-paste buffer.

It would be nice if we were also told about the new way to copy/paste RGBA values between color pickers. I found it. (right click the color block to see a Copy/Paste menu).
