Spotted on the Web somewhere:
Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, All my base are belong to you.
See now if it were me, I'd have written "#f00" and "#00f." I really like CSS shorthand and I dislike capital letter hex, for some reason.
This blog contains posts, all written by me, and comments, only some of which were written by me.

Yeah, lowercase is better. easier to distinguish between numbers (8 != B for example)
it's amazing how many people don't realize that CSS allows for that shorthand in RGB values.

Yep, lower case and shorthand here too.

I actually like writing out all 6 digits, mostly because it allows for easier fine-tuning of colors when I inevitably decide I got it wrong the first time.

I'd prefer this version:
Roses are #F00
Violets are #00F
