It is not invalid, it's just a warning. The point is that a user's
settings may specify either or both of background color and text color.
If you specify, for instance, only a bg color of black and the user
has an over-ride setting text color to black ... well. So the validator
is telling you of a potential usability problem, not invalid code.
