Right, this bug is plain silly, thanks for reporting it. I think I don't actually agree with the suggestion given by the warning message. Especially when looking at the Colors section of CSS21 [1] I don't see any suggestion to use mixed case for legibility. The only mention of case in the spec, AFAIK, is that most of CSS is case-insensitive. [2] I will ask the CSS working group for their opinion, and the original creators of the validator for the rationale behind this warning, but would be interested to hear opinions from this mailing-list.
