Sorry--I mistyped, or, rather, misspoke. I'm using ePUB version 2.01 rules, and yes, I'm using 4.0.2 to validate. Can we focus on the oddball message?

As for the error, can you please post cover.xtml along with any relevant CSS code? Thanks.
I sh*t thee not, there's nothing to see, but...I'll grab that if you want to see it. I've resolved this, now, but the language of the message was weird.

This is only a wild guess... but is it anything like
Code:
{color: #00007; ...}
If so, I thought RGB colours defined with a # needed to be #3-dgt or #6-dgt not #5-dgt as in that message you got.
I decided it wasn't worth aggravating myself, and nuked the background color declaration (for the body, who knows what they were thinking, putting in a background color for a COVER???), and that "solved" the weirdo message. Apparently, yes, it was the color call. I should have thought about it, but the oddity of the error message threw me.
