css validation warnings re. color
On validating my CSS files I get tons of WARNINGS!
"No background-color with your color" and "No color with your background-color". Do I really have to specify both of these properties for every element?

Re: css validation warnings re. color
You do if you want to use the W3C validated logo on your pages.
I know it can be a bit of a trial but it's basically to make sure you haven't forgot something.

Re: css validation warnings re. color
well I'm glad you said that!I guess it won't affect my pages' accessibility then?

Re: css validation warnings re. color
It won't effect your pages accessibility necessarily, but...
Remember that these colour attributes are inherited so if you only set a background colour, for example, at the <body> level, then that will be the background colour for everything. Now at some point on your page, you may choose a foreground colour, that when taken with that background colour, do not meet accessibility requirements in terms of colour contrast etc. Personally, I think that is the main reason for always specifying both as it ensures, as I said previously, that you haven't missed anything.
