CSS shortcuts are great making your code easy to read and quickly change while saving file size as well. If you're new to CSS this will be good-to-know stuff. If you know CSS, don't bother.

Color Shortcuts

When digging through other people's css (people who are better than you, at least in CSS), have you seen this:

color:#33e

"But i've always learned there were 6 places for a hex value!" Well you know that the hex is RGB R(xx) G(xx) B(xx). The shortcut is, if the two values are going to be the same for each channel then you can just use one. As in the above example its the same as saying:  

color: #3333ee;.

Examples:

color: #03f = #0033ff
color: #eb4 = #eebb44
