Description

For hex colors beginning with a letter, the subsequent semicolon gets the scope invalid.illegal.bad-identifier.css:

@property --light-blue { syntax: '<color>'; inherits: false; initial-value: #ace; }

For hex colors beginning with a number, the subsequent semicolon gets the scope meta.selector.css, as it seems like it should:

@property --dark-gray { syntax: '<color>'; inherits: false; initial-value: #123; }

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the following two examples to compare the scope value of the final semicolon:

@property --light-blue { syntax: '<color>'; inherits: false; initial-value: #ace; }

@property --dark-gray { syntax: '<color>'; inherits: false; initial-value: #123; }

Expected behavior:

Semicolon is meta.selector.css.

Actual behavior:

Semicolon is invalid.illegal.bad-identifier.css.

Reproduces how often:

100%

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with Coffeescript beyond small bug fixes but I'd like to help to the extent that I can. What is the next step?
