You did, the tool you specified isn't doing a good job verifying that.
The folio is Gray Color, brightness 0, the colour text is c30 m60 y60 k0 as expected (as checked w/ Enfocus PitStop).
Acrobat Reader has some preflight capabilities --- check that. See:

which has:
Preflighting your PDFs
In many cases, issues within PDF files can be found through Acrobat and Acrobat Reader's Preflight tool. The Preflight tool analyzes your PDF and returns a report listing potential problem areas within the file, including images in non-CMYK color spaces, colors within the document that are not CMYK, low-resolution images, layers that don't knock out, and so on.
Preflighting on a Mac:
• Open your PDF in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
• Go to Advanced → Preflight.
• Choose your desired Profile preset.
• Hit Preflight.
• Adjust your source files accordingly.
Preflighting on a Windows computer:
• Open your PDF in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
• Go to Document → Preflight.
• Choose your desired Profile preset.
• Hit Analyze.
• Adjust your source files accordingly.
Not sure if the Linux version of Acrobat Reader has such capabilities or no --- perhaps Ghostscript has some facility at this?
