According to C++03 rules, adding constructor would make RGBA non-POD, which has implications on what operations are legal with it.

Furthermore, the issue is tricky, because the standard format is premultiplied, so e.g.

RGBA(0, 255, 0, 128)

would be wrong if constructor would just assign numbers to respective fields.

RGBA rgba = Color(255, 0, 0);
rgba.a = 255;

No need to set .a here, it is automatically set to 255.

Note that there is also operator* to add alpha to Color:

RGBA x = 128 * Red(); // Sets Red with alpha = 128
