setishock is right - the different colors are a design choice
Our board is about 12 years old (10 on vbulletin) and our default forum theme has allways been dark. We cannot change that without alienating our users and we don't want to change that since we think dark colors do fit a gaming forum better.
For the newspage we think this isn't the case. Here a white background works better. So we used the same colorscheme as our default forum style, but, well more white. We hope the connection is still there, so the users do know it's the same network and at the same time are looking into how to improve this connection.
As for our other styles the colors of newssite and board do match. And those are a bit more gamerish in the cms aswell, using colorful background images.
