Bug Report: "No Color Set"

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fomghabbo.ath.cx%2Fcss%2Fglobals.css&profile=css3&usermedium=all&warning=2&lang=en

I am receiving the WARNING message "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." when I have set a color.

CSS body content:
body
{

background-color : #c0c0c0;

text-align : center;

color : #000000;

font-family : "Times New Roman", Serif;

font-size : 16px;

font-style : normal;

}

As the provided CSS content shows, I do have the property "color" present and is set to "#000000".

Please fix this validator bug as I would like to have my documents report as perfect when they are in fact perfect.

Thank you for your time and contribution to the world.

This is because you selected the CSS3 profile, which is known to have some
shortcomings. Using CSS21, this snippet will not exhibit any warning. Also
the development version has this fixed (see
http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/ )
Cheers,
