I am using ace navy theme when i checked theme on w3c validator i saw 250 errors and 50 warnings. So i changed theme to modernVB and checked once again the result 200 errors and 21 warnings.

So i want to ask is there any theme which has errors below 50.
Well, to be very frank with you, I cannnot assure you that is there any theme like such or not. Actually W3C search every little things which may not necessary. And maximum programmers leave those to save his time. Say for an example:
<img src="#" width="100" height="100" />
As per w3c it is wrong.

It should be
 <img src="#" width="100" height="100" alt="" title="" />

If your main motive is less error, then
You may install all the themes and then check which has less error
or, you can fix those by yourself by finding those holes
or, hire a developer to develop a custom theme for you which should be error<=50 Smile

I believe the Facebook theme for MyBB is valid XHTML/HTML/CSS.

I don't know if it's anything like those themes though.
I feel that, as long as the theme works as it is supposed to, with no errors that actually affect the forum, or working of it, then it's fine.
W3C is used to check for syntax(as far as I know), and as godgifted mentioned, it looks for small small things.
So, if the theme is working as it is supposed to, and is not giving any errors, it's fine.
I think the biggest errors on AceNavy are the missing image tag and I THINK the postbit does not validate. It is of course possible to check the code and make it validate, I would advise fixing it on postbit as that could cause other issues.
