Hi Aazim,

It’s possible that you have your browser settings for colour set to override the web site designed colours, or to ignore CSS colours defined by the web site. Which browser are you using?

If you can let us know, we may be able to tell you how to fix it.

Hi there, my question is in regards to viewing the background color on any website. I dont know why i am not able to see the background colors or boxes wherever they are on a webpage filled with colors, why? How do i fix it? Although, am able to see the pictures, images or photos on a site but the afore mentioned colors, please solve, thank you!

Very interesting approach. But, I would make all in more light tones.

I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, because if, for example, there’s a default body background colour and colour set, and then further down the stylesheet there’s an area where the font is a different (appropriately contrasting) colour, then the background colour shouldn’t need to be re-specified.

I’m just not sure whether there’s a way of programmatically determining whether there’s a suitable background colour specified without requiring a pair for each ruleset.

When the CSS Validator warns that color does not accompany background-color in every ruleset, is that worthwhile? Should it only raise that warning for rulesets which apply to <html> and <body>? With the Unicorn conformance suite being developed at W3C, now is a good time for the usefulness of things like that to be reviewed.
