Hi Soeren, That will only appear as a warning in the validator anyway, which I assume is just there as a reminder in case you've forgotten to specify an appropriate background-color which will allow enough contrast. As you've said though, in this case it obviously doesn't matter. I would just ignore warnings like these, as long as there are no errors then your page has "passed validation".
