I am wrong, you're talking about inherit as a value such as value 
<color> | inherit.

Starting at the CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3. At '3.2 
background-color', the value has <color> which links to '2. Values' 
and following the link [CSS3COLOR] at the end of the line for <color> 
take you to '11. Normative references'. From where you can go here,

http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-css3-color-20080721/

and then down to '3.1 color' to find this.

Value: 	<color> | inherit

In the process, I could had skipped this part at the end of '2. Values'.

   | inherit keyword as their property value, but for readability
   | it has not been listed explicitly.
