ExCSS (supports CSS2.1 and CSS3) on GitHub: https://github.com/TylerBrinks/ExCSS.
Which is a newer version of the code project article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/CSSParser.aspx
And a slightly slower search turns up the blog post "CSS parser class in .NET" which embeds this gist on GitHub (in case the blog ever dies).
There is a CSS grammar file for GoldParser:
http://goldparser.org/grammars/files/css.zip
GoldParser is easy to include in a C# project, and generates an real LALR parser - not some regex hack.
I wrote one, using the grammar specified in the CSS 2.1 spec. I have also released it now: for details, see http://www.modeltext.com/css/
