I modified my additional CSS in style template so it included a

within the blockquote.bq CSS style.

e.g.

blockquote.bq {
  background-color: white;
  font: italic 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
  border-left:3px solid #ccc; 
  margin:0px;
  padding:0 5px
}

Only thing is, it only colors the background of the area where the quoted text is, not the whole section that includes the "quoted by" and the quotation marks itself. Change the color here to whatever color you want as the background for your quote (you can use #000000 - #FFFFFF for custom colors).

It does look better with a slightly different background color, in my opinion.

You'll want to flush the signature cache out after doing this since you may have users using the quote bbcode in their signatures. (Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters, then click Empty Signature Cache)
