'Background' is a perfectly valid property [1], and its use above is also
valid. 'background: #993300' is actually a shorthand for the following
declaration block:
background-color: #993300;
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 0% 0%
Since 'background: #993300' implicitly sets 'background-image' to 'none',
it's actually better than 'background-color: #993300'; the shorthand
version would override any background image in the user's style sheet (the
user's image may leave text unreadable against the author's colour
scheme). As well, 'background' is more widely supported since MSIE3
supports it but not the individual 'background-*' properties.
