Certainly confused. There are five ways of specifying colours in CSS. Two
of them require a hash sign, the other three must never have a hash sign.

color: #F00; /* 3-digit hex */
color: #FF0000; /* 6-digit hex */
color: red; /* colour keywords */
color: rgb(255,0,0) /* RGB function (decimal) */
color: rgb(100%,0,0) /* RGB function (percentage) */

(There are also the "system colours", but these just expand the set of
colour keywords.)

Perhaps that's the idea: maybe we don't want those who are easily scared
sticking around.
