I’m getting a number of errors from the W3C CSS validator that just

Here’s what I get:[...trimmed.........]
The w3c validation service started being over zealous about color and
background-color(among other things) several months ago. There were
numerous informative, and well written, replies to questions /exactly/
like yours on the css-d list; and, I am sure, on this list as well,
although I was not on this list at that time.
One of the stipulations of this particular project from my client is
that “the CSS MUST validate..and I’m going to check it myself to make
sure it does.”
I really see no problem with that, nor do I think you should. Armed with
copies of some of the replies I mentioned, you might then ask him reset
the background-color on each browser he's trying to hit to something
outlandish-- perhaps lime or fuchsia. Viewing his site on the browsers
in this way, may convince him that it is, in fact, a yet to be corrected
validation service issue.
