Validation Error: Color and Background

Error: When using the color property, a background or background-color property should also be defined

This message is a warning aimed at avoiding unreadable text. Because some browsers allow to users to define their own default page background colors through a personal style sheet or other mechanism, it is possible that your specified foreground color may not be visible for some users. Note that background-color is not an inherited property, so the element will not inherit a background from its parent.
