The warning itself is correct; the same value *is* being used for  
'background-color' and 'color' across both type and pseudo class  
declaration blocks.

Whilst it may be a false positive in your case (since you've  
subsequently specified a 'color, value other than what would be  
inherited), the validator has still flagged this as a potential  
accessibility issue, presumably since it doesn't pay attention to any  
subsequent values ('color:white' in your case) that solve the issue  
that it warns about.
