It's a warning, not an error. A document can have warnings and still
validate. But you are right, I think the validator has stopped to issue
this specific warning. Don't know if it's per design or a bug. The
explanation is still in the FAQ though. Maybe you don't use to have
warnings turned on?

Why does the validator complain You have no background-color with your color?
If you don't specify color and background-color at the same level of
specifity, your style sheet might clash with user style sheets. To avoid
this, specify always both of them, see Section 9.1 "Color Contrast" in the
W3C Note "CSS Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0" or
the article CSS Color Issues by the CSS Pointers Group for a discussion.
