Daniel,
I think you're still missing it.
The errors/warnings refer not to the background-color but the missing
foreground color:
in each of your #ID blocks you need to set color: somecolor;
Or if all the foregrounds text is the same color use inherit as Simon
suggested.
e.g:
#main {
background-color: #FFCC99;
border: 1px solid #000000;
color: #000000; /*or set to inherit */
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 232px;
margin-top: 10px;
position: inherit;
top: 10px;
}
While on the topic can I recommend Topstyle 3.0?
It makes editing/creating stylesheets much easier and will vaildate them
with a much better explanation of errors.

Hope this helps
