This always seemed an unnecessary restriction to me as an author, and I recall needing a background color in other layers multiple times. The use cases I've stumbled on, usually fall in one or both of the following categories: a) A semi transparent color with background-image(s) showing through below it b) A color clipped with a background-clip value of padding-box or content-box with background-image(s) clipped with border-box or padding-box showing through. I've had a discussion today with Tab and he encouraged me to raise this on the list, as: a) it hasn't been discussed before (I have to admit I found this kinda surprising) b) There are no known implementation issues with shifting this restriction c) This restriction was added to the spec before background-clip was, so the use cases were more limited Yes, both use cases can be solved with the image(color) and cross-fade() syntax, but allowing a background-color in other background layers is simpler and more straightforward. -- Lea Verou (http://leaverou.me | @LeaVerou)
