[Color Shorthand] lets you define `background-color` within the `color` property in CSS.

```css
/* before */

header {
  color: #abccfc #212231;
}

/* after */

header {
  color: #abccfc;
  background-color: #212231;
}
```

## Options

#### `prefix`

Type: `String`  
Default: `""`

Adds an optional prefix to the `color` property (e.g. `"x"` for `-x-color`). Wrapping dashes (`-`) are automatically applied.

#### `skip`

Type: `String`  
Default: `"*"`

Specifies the skip token used to ignore a length.
