Parse Error background:#7a7a7a

Question

This is my CSS Code. W3C CSS validator saying the above error.

Please provide suggestions

span.selected {
    width:70px;
    text-indent:10px;
    border-top-left-radius:5px;
    border-bottom-left-radius:5px;
    background:#7a7a7a;
    overflow:hidden;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 1.1em;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
}

According to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_input - "Congratulations! No Error Found" — Kobi, May 14 '14 at 11:40
There is no error in your background definition. What's the exact validator error? — Marcin Nabiałek, May 14 '14 at 11:40

I've done a manual check using http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator - which gave back

Congratulations! No Error Found.

Try using background-color instead.

Please refer to this SO question: What is the difference between background and background-color

if you want to just set the color, use Background-color instead;

background-color: #7a7a7a;
