Windowtext error in Calibre (resubmitted)

[blackrock36]

All,
After some discussion on an html file and epub comparability in this forum (thanks for the input to date), I switched back to Calibre as recommended and am working on the html code in that software on my book's html code. One issue that Calibre/EditBook/Check Book is the term 'windowtext' label used by Word. The general error message is 'CSS: Property: Invalid value for "CSS Level 2.1" property: windowtext [82.5 colour] [stylesheet.css]' dependig on the line and column location. I would like the font in the entire text in the book to be automatic as defined in the original Word document and not a specific colour.

My question is what can I do about this error or can I safely leave it? Any help much appreciated.

.calibre6 {
    font-weight: bold
    }
.calibre7 {
    color: windowtext
    }
.calibre8 {
    font-size: 0.83333em;
    line-height: 1.2;
    vertical-align: super
    }
.calibre9 {
    display: block

I delete the line.
That is EPUB3 code, which is why it squawks when using 2.1 rules.

Devices are SUPPOSED to ignore code they don't understand. In reality , don't give them a chance to prove they don't follow the rules

replace windowtext with currentColor

Many thanks for the clarification.
