Hello I don’t' think this needs to be posted on the message board. It's a request for a possible upgrade to the CSS validator to help people like me who can't type :) Basically I missed out the # character in front of a colour (i.e. I wrote cbe6f7 rather than #cbe6f7) The error message I received (invalid number) had me chasing different colours - and different colour formats - etc before I spotted my mistake. It would just be nice if the checker could identify an attempt at using a hex colour value and point out the missing # character..
