It seems it's the input_background stylevar you need to modify.
If this doesn't work either, check the following CSS attribute in vbulletin-formcontrols.css: "

I tried this and it didn't work.
I got to change this to keep it, thanks!

Open the template DragonByte Tech: vBShout Templates/dbtech_vbshout_shoutarea_vertical

Place the following code in the html text in there after width:98%;

background-color:#000000"

So it looks like this:

<ul class="dbtech_shoutarea_{vb:raw direction}">
	<li>
		<textarea id="dbtech_shoutbox_editor{vb:var instance.instanceid}" rows="9" cols="1" onkeyup="javascript:vBShout{vb:var instance.instanceid}.check_length();" onkeydown="return vBShout{vb:var instance.instanceid}.keystroke(event);" style="height:{vb:math {vb:var instance.options.height} + 26}px; width:98%; background-color:#000000" float: {vb:raw direction};"></textarea>
	</li>
</ul>

You can change the color to what you wish by changing the 000000 to a different value.
