CSS colors lower vs upper case, and possibly length

See original GitHub issue

After I ran prettier on my .scss files I see some colors written in upper case and some in lower case. Some are 3 chars long, others 6. Is there a way prettier would standardize the way colors are written? I personally prefer 6 chars lower case.

If someone is interested in sending a pr to lowercase hexadecimal colors, that would be very welcomed

Yes, case matters! By enforcing case, Prettier takes away yet one item from pointless code style debates between programmers. Besides, Prettier already enforces case for hexadecimal numbers in JS, as an example. What a minifier can and can’t do has nothing to do with prettier.
