Fully supports rgba (8): Outlook 365, Outlook iOS, Outlook Android, Apple Mail, Apple Mail iOS, Samsung Mail, Thunderbird, HEY Mail.
Partial support (4): Gmail, Gmail Android, Gmail iOS, Yahoo Mail. Expect rendering quirks unique to each engine — partial support typically means a subset of values, an ignored shorthand, or sanitizer-specific rewrites.

Behaviour unverified in: Superhuman.
