I tried with "no special profile", "css1", "css2" and "mobile" and it
worked. I suspect you're trying to validate this rule with a restricted
medium, such as "aural". If the medium is "aural", the property color
and the property background-color can't be applied. A better error message
would have been "Property color doesn't exist for the medium aural".

I tried this CSS file on the CSS validator and didn't get any error.

I guess the medium parameter in the form.
