There is ambiguity as to whether the value is a string or a lexical value.

It might be a good thing I'm not sure why such bad practices should be encouraged. If the colour is being mis-specified, the author is unlikely to be providing a valid style sheet. Even if the correct syntax is used, it only encourages presentational HTML.
