Does anyone else hate capitalised hexadecimal colour codes?

I'm not sure why, but I just think #ccfd73 (just an example) looks better than #CCFD73

    Personally, the OCD developer in me likes when all the characters are the same height.

    Opposite too. When I learned HTML color tags and CSS in the late 90s all the guides told me to uppercase it. Even though it works both ways or mixed case I still uppercase them. In recent years I have relaxed that as long as all the style sheets in my project are the same case.

    And yeah, that's right. Back in the day colors were attributes to a tag. Crazy I know.

    That's why I stick my colors in an uneditable less file. No touchy my colors. Me no like when you change my colors.

    Very much prefer the capitalized version. It looks cleaner to me, personally.

    All caps, for the same reasons I like monospaced fonts. It's all uniformed.

    Using lowercase letters makes the math more ambiguous; lower case letters are typically reserved for variables. Capital letters in the HEX make it less ambiguous.

    Capitalised reminds me of Dreamweaver, I think that's why I dislike it.
