That would be a good start :up: I'm assuming you mean the content background, right? not the page background itself? It would definitely look better with a more contrasting color
Right now it makes for decent eye candy, but it just makes me continue to scroll down rather than stop and grab a read based on what I outlined on contrasting colors.
I also just noticed your Q&A, definitely admire the fact that you took the time out to make one rather than using the default FAQ which no one ever updates, heh. Dedication is always of the essence!
