Regular expressions make you queasy? Here’s an approach with less hairy regex syntax:

1. Run the search:

/background-color

2. Start a recording:

qq

3. Make the edit, exit insert mode and jump to the next match:

Wct;black<Esc>n

4. End the recording:

q

5. Run the macro a bunch of times to replace all matches

999@q

Yes, running it 999 times is a bit crude: there’re more precise ways to do this, but they’re (slightly) more complicated to explain.
