					<description>Really it's just for easy access to the colors. &#160;Rather than searching for your link color hex code by doing a find for a:hover, you can just grab a copy/paste from the header of the file.</description>

					<description>I do this sometimes, but it has nothing to do with my ego or branding. It simply makes it easier for me to use the colors if they are notated in the style sheet. That way I don't have to go back to my graphics program to look up the codes.</description>

					<description>A color glossary/style guide could well be the case in example 1 and 2, but example three does not mention the hex code at all.

Veerle Pieters from veerle.duoh.com mentions the unique combination of colours etcetera at the top of the stylesheet. But no trace of hex codes at all. 

See here

&lt;code&gt;/* You may adapt and learn from the elements of this CSS to use in your own
projects, but you may not copy the design (the unique combination of images,
colors, sizes, typography, and positioning) since this is copyright of Veerle Pieters
and Duoh! n.v.  and may not be reproduced. 
------------------------------------------------------------------*/&lt;/code&gt;

I can see the use of putting the color hex codes and their textual equivalent during development, but after I think it can be erased...

In any of the provided examples you can see that stylesheets are personalized by the designer, for a client website it would be
perhaps different. 

Another great example from collylogic.com

&lt;code&gt;/*
Worst CSS organisation in the world - I'm just fiddling and adding and messing with it all the time. Built at Agenzia by Simon Collison 2003. Sorry its not annotated or in a sensible order but I am trying to save some whitespace for a rainy day. agenzia.co.uk
*/&lt;/code&gt;

It does mean that in any of the examples stylesheets are personalized, they are after all personal websites. Branding is about identity, and designers clearly love to add these snippets to a stylesheet of their website.

					<description>We comment our other code so why not CSS. I agree that for the most part when i do this it's so I don't have to search the code and remember what I called all of my declarations to find the right colour.I used to include a copyright notice and an updated date but sometimes forgot to change the updated date so just let the file system handle that for me.And sure part of the reason to add your name may be vanity but as designers and coders do we ever really get recognition for our work? Sometimes you have to do a little bit of self-promotion to get you through. :P&#160;</description>

					<description>&lt;p&gt;Another example of a copyright notice put at the top of the style sheet, in this case a WP theme copyright notice.


  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!--more--&gt;Theme Name: Ayers&lt;br /&gt;Theme URI: http://www.robertnyman.com&lt;br /&gt;Description: Ayer's Rock theme&lt;br /&gt;Version: 1.0&lt;br /&gt;Author: Robert Nyman&lt;br /&gt;Author URI: http://www.robertnyman.com/&lt;br /&gt;

This one is like the mezzoblue example, adding a theme.</description>

					<description>The notation Snook used for hex values is especially useful when you're adding additional classes to an existing stylesheet and want to re-use a color but you don't remember the hex value and don't feel like searching the CSS. Instead, you can go straight to the top of the document (your &#34;table of contents&#34;) and identify them by name: Brick red, royal blue, etc. A good time-saver. I've always used a table of contents in my CSS just to break it into chapters: Structure, Headers, Forms and so on. &lt;em&gt;Another example of a copyright notice put at the top of the style sheet, in this case a WP theme copyright notice. &lt;/em&gt;Good Wordpress themes should always contain the URI / description / copyright info in the header of the stylesheet. It's also what feeds the information &lt;a href="http://www.darrenhoyt.com/imagedump/theme.gif" rel="nofollow"&gt;displayed here&lt;/a&gt; under Presentation-&#62;Themes.&#160;</description>

					<description>It can help in development proccess, but I tried it sometimes and the designer used a lot of color variations... So it doesn't help me, because in the end of the CSS production I have a big list of colors with small variations on blue, orange, for example.I think this technique can be helpfull with just a few examples of color.</description>

					<description>I'm glad I'm not the only one.&#160; My main reason for having the color scheme in my css is to easily reference it when writing the code.&#160; It only took me creating a few websites without doing that to realize that it would be much easier to add the colors to the CSS.&#160; It never really had anything to do with branding.&#160; I just wanted to make my life easier.&#160; How many trends in web design are started that way, I wonder?</description>

					<description>I need to do this. Not for branding or copyright protection or anything, but I can see that for finding colors used in a given thematic, having them spelled out like that could be very helpful.</description>

					<description>Stylesheets aren't free to use/copy as suggested in the article. In the UK at least, they are subject to the same copyright rules as everything else, which means they don't even need a copyright notice to be protected. Where it gets difficult is in deciding whether something is original or not. I think it would be fair to say that one colour couldn't be copyrighted but it could easily be argued that a combination of three or four, covering particular elements, could well be considered protected because there are so many different possibilities. It is very tricky though, because if I see a nice colour combination then I might well want to copy it, but I wouldn't want to steal from the original designer. The same dilemma happens in books. I don't think even Warner&#160;Brothers could stop me from writing a book about a character called Harry Potter, a retired miner from North Wales&#160;who now runs a ballroom&#160;dancing class and runs in marathons. (not a lot of people know that tm stands for totally meaningless).&#160;&#160;&#160;</description>

					<description>I've been annotating mine for a year or so already, I find it useful to look back on old work and seeing the date, what the project was and more in a header comment. I also enjoy a little ascii art sometimes haha.</description>

					<description>Should we put the wrong colors in comments at the top, to try to throw a wrench in the works of unscrupulous designers? (a joke)I'm not sure what problem you're aiming to fix.&#160; Should we not have color/copyright info in the comments, and why not? </description>

The discussion here is not about how you define your colors in CSS or add colors at the top for easier maintenance, but &lt;strong&gt;why &lt;/strong&gt;you would add the page color scheme for a personal reason. Stating that unique combination of colors, leaving a signature, personalising the stylesheet. </description>

					<description>if you use&#160; #C60 in your css, then firefox renders it as light orange while safari - for example - correctly displays it as blue. Also I usually write the color code as 3-digit numbers (expecially the gray colors) but sometimes, for better accessibility, it's a good idea write them completely. #C60000 orange#000036 blue&#160;</description>
