The 'background' property is short for both 'background-color' and
'background-image', so such a declaration says s/he wants a

Yes, it is - or at least should be. No harm in spelling it out though,
and I do so routinely.
In some cases a set of stylesheets includes reset styles that contain
colored background, and other times certain elements are
background: transparent url(filename).
This is a shorthand method for writing CSS rules. This rule has
multiple values, that are space-separated. The first value sets the
background color to transparent; the second value is the server path or
URL where the browser can find the image.
The same
background: transparent url(filename).
That's shorthand. Transparent is the background color, the url is the
path to the background image. In longhand it's:
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(filename);
-Nigel
background: transparent url(filename).
It's a shortcut of:
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(filename);

Despite 5 people saying it, this is actually technically
incorrect, and the difference (although minor) is probably
worth pointing out.
Indeed and glad you've clarified. But for someone just beginning to
learn CSS, would it help to distill it down to:
But be careful with using shorthand
