I validated my css, and it gave me this warning:*|
|**
*
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 100%;
background-color: #4A4A4A;
}
Warning: To help avoid conflicts with user style sheets,
background-image should be specified whenever background-color is
used. In most cases, background-image: none is suitable.

I have never heard that you should specify none for a background image
if there is not one & there is a color specified. Is that true? I
know that the specs say that you should specify a background color if
there is an image used in case the image cannot be found. But not the
other way around?
Matthew,
I wouldn't worry about this warning. If someone is savvy enough to
change the background color on all pages to something they are more
comfortable with, it behooves them to change the foreground color too,
in order to ensure that it contrasts with their background and is
readable for them. What I would pay attention to is setting a color any
time you set a background color. Many validators or accessibility
checkers will flag you if you set one and not the other, and it's a good
practice to get into.
