Oh Please!

It follows then that:

border:1px solid #fff SHOULD BE f0f0f0? f7f7f7? OR f0f0f0?

....so that the next guy/gal that comes along can understand it?

yes. this simplification does bear. i cannot actually think of a reasonable
excuse to do the extra typing, except when i am trying to hit the difference
of #707070, and 777777 and 7f7f7f.

i really do not know how #777 wouild be interpreted. any guesses anyone?
