testcase. pass if the computed value of background-color is #c0e000.

Some attributes like <font color> or <body bgcolor> can take color keywords. In HTML5, such keywords are limited to "transparent" and SVG color keywords defined in CSS3 Color module. Any strings other than these keywords would follow the "rules for parsing a legacy color value" http://whatwg.org/html5#rules-for-parsing-a-legacy-color-value

The keyword "currentColor" is also defined in css3-color, but in a different section from SVG Color keywords. Hence, if that keyword is specified in attributes which can take color keywords, it should follow the algorithm and return #c0e000, rather than the value of the "color" property, which is how the keyword is processed in CSS. However, WebKit does apply the value of the "color" property rather than #c0e000.
