Description
i just uploaded a fairly transparent PNG and the blurhash was entirely the wrong colour, presumably due to being unaware of alpha
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem with a fairly transparent PNG uploaded through the web client, then trace where its blurhash is generated. Done means the resulting blurhash represents the image's transparency well enough that the displayed placeholder has the expected colour.
