Description Bj 2003-08-07 10:25:33 UTC 
hex color values like #fff or #ffffff are not recognized by the
current CVS version of the CSS Validator,
org.w3c.css.properties.CssColorCSS1 and
org.w3c.css.properties.CssColorCSS2 test for

  val instanceof org.w3c.css.values.CssColorCSS1 /* or the respective */
  val instanceof org.w3c.css.values.CssColorCSS2

while 'val' is only an instanceof org.w3c.css.values.CssColor.

Looks like the problem has been fixed for color, but not background or border.
