Description Ernst Elzas 2009-03-31 08:46:12 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #6631 +++

Scenario:
1. Go to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_input+with_options
2. Enter a{background-color: rgba(179,141,94,0.25);}
3. Set profile to css 3 and type to css
4. Click check

Result:
a Value Error : background-color  rgba(179,141,94,0.25) is not a background-color value :  rgba(179,141,94,0.25) 

Desired:
This document validates as CSS level 3 !

Remark:
Works correctly when using http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/#validate_by_input+with_options in step 1 instead.

The development version has indeed a number of fixes for css3 color waiting to be pushed forward. As far as bugzilla is concerned I would put the status as "fixed" since there is no development involved. 

Yves would know when the next dev->prod release is likely to happen.
