I have been thinking about this. If the WG decides to go with the wide interpretation, authors would need tools to help them catch those errors. At one time the W3C CSS Validator did warn [1] [2] [3] if an author had no background-color with their foreground color. I wonder if that warning could be reinstated/adjusted for this use case. Besides F24 which Jon A mentioned, there is also the old "If You Pick One Color, Pick Them All" on W3C QA Tips [4] Kindest Regards, Laura [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20160919184438/http://www.websitedev.de:80/css/validator-faq [2] https://www.webmasterworld.com/css/3061963.htm [3] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/1999AprJun/0300.html [4] https://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/color Laura L.
