[Hippy]

for some reason that color is in the tables of the DB..

TABLE_PREFIX . "games_settings ADD `ladder_empty_color` VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'FFFFFF' NOT NULL");

or you could try and edited it here in arcade.php

 $ladderhtml = "
					<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->
					<style type='text/css' id='tournament_css'>
					<!--
					.empty
					{
						background: #{$this->arcade->settings['ladder_empty_color']};
					}
					.qual
					{
						background: #{$this->arcade->settings['ladder_qual_color']};
					}
					.elim
					{
						background: #{$this->arcade->settings['ladder_elim_color']};
					}
					.disqual
					{
						background: #{$this->arcade->settings['ladder_disqual_color']};
					}
					-->
					</style>
					<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

this line

.empty
{background: #{$this->arcade->settings['ladder_empty_color']};
}
