It is css shorthand, which I am not using myself at all, #333 would be
#333333, #ec0 would be #eecc00, ie, just add the first as second, the third
as fourth and the fifth as sixth.
I use full hex code for two reasons, one easier to remember and not mess
up, secondly, gives me a lot more colors to play with ;o)
