The hex value, #cc7733, is broken down to a Red value (cc), a Green value (77), and a Blue value (33), each represented by a hex value pair. If in each pair the value is repeated, such as cc or 77, you can use a shorthand and just replace the cc with a single value of c. So #cc7733 can be abbreviated to #c73. Hope this helps.
