I do not think this is correct.  To break things down how each of
these matches 'value' (I'm presuming you're talknig about "x" being
a variable):

  value(block("{" any(IDENT(a)) any(':') any(IDENT(a)) "}"))
  value(block("{" any(IDENT(a)) "}"))
  value(block("{" any(STRING(a)) any(':') any(STRING(a)) "}"))

Of course, if you weren't talking about "x" being a variable, but
wanted the whole "x: FOO" to be value, that's also straightforward,
since the start breaks down as:
  value(any(IDENT("x"))any(":"S*(" ")))
and then the rest can still continue matching the entire [...]+ in
the value production.
