 Converts a colorcode to a `rgb()` string.
 
-Use bitwise right-shift operator and mask bits with `&` (and) operator to convert a hexadecimal color code (prefixed with `#`) to a string with the RGB values.
+Use bitwise right-shift operator and mask bits with `&` (and) operator to convert a hexadecimal color code (prefixed with `#`) to a string with the RGB values. In case it's a 3-digit-colorcode, do the same with the 6-digit-colorcode extended by the extendHex() function (ref. `extendHex` snippet)
 
 ```js
-const hexToRGB = hex => {
-  const h = parseInt(hex.slice(1), 16);
-  return `rgb(${h >> 16}, ${(h & 0x00ff00) >> 8}, ${h & 0x0000ff})`;
-}
+const hexToRgb = hex => {
+  const extendHex = shortHex => 
+    '#' + shortHex.slice(shortHex.startsWith('#') ? 1 : 0).split('').map(x => x+x).join('');
+  return hex.slice(1).length==3 ? 
+  `rgb(${parseInt(extendHex(hex).slice(1), 16) >> 16}, ${(parseInt(extendHex(hex).slice(1), 16) & 0x00ff00) >> 8}, ${parseInt(extendHex(hex).slice(1), 16) & 0x0000ff})`:
