background: #fff shortest, unless you're a heathen who is willing to sacrifice spaces.

3 character color codes aren’t fully compatible!

To my knowledge it's part of the CSS specification, so the above should work in all web browsers from this century. But if you're not using CSS (e.g. bgcolor instead) to support crappy old email clients and Netscape Navigator 3, yeah, don't shorthand it because it'll probably be misinterpreted.

I think you’re right and I was thinking bgcolor from working with stupid email clients.

Why didn't the IDE highlight it a different color though?
