hexidecimal

Greetings,

Most hexidecimal colors I see use pairs: #ffffcc

Can I use this hexidecimal color:  #fffff1  ?


I realize that it is not "browser-safe."  A 256 color monitor will default
to white.  But it is a nice off-white, and transparent gifs will match
closely enough even if the system defaults to white.

My basic question is: Do I have to use character pairs (ff, CC, 00, etc.)
in my hex color choices?
