As you see, you can skip colons in such a case.

+[NOTE]
+===============================
+Dracut pipes key to cryptsetup with _-d -_ argument, therefore you need to pipe
+to crypsetup luksFormat with _-d -_, too!
+
+Here follows example for key encrypted with GPG:
+
+----
+gpg --quiet --decrypt rootkey.gpg \
+| cryptsetup -d - -v \
+--cipher serpent-cbc-essiv:sha256 \
+--key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3
+----
+
+If you use plain keys, just add path to _-d_ option:
+
+----
+cryptsetup -d rootkey.key -v \
+--cipher serpent-cbc-essiv:sha256 \
+--key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3
