That's a somewhat odd and confusing warnings. I'd suggest using the
interface at
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ with "More Options" clicked and
"Warnings" set to "All". Then you get messages like
"You have no color set (or color is set to transparent) but you have set a
background-color. Make sure that cascading of colors keeps the text
reasonably legible."
That's somewhat tough too, but makes more sense. You need to understand the
cascade in order to see the point.*) Or you might decide just to take the
expert advice and follow the simple rule of always setting background, in
the same rule, when you set color, and vice versa. This should also remove
the warnings you have seen.
Quick intro:
Suppose a user style sheet contains
* { color: white; background: black; }
What will happen in an author style sheet contains, say,
#foobar { background-color: white; }
?

[css-d] should I worry about the warnings?
Hi, My CSS validates, however I get loads of warning http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwallacewhittle.com&warning=1&profile=css21&usermedium=all Generally they are "Same colors for color and background-color in two contexts" Should I be looking to eliminate the warnings if so how because I want the text and the container div to be white?
