Hi Mike,

>why? why is one color that bad?


Black and white backgrounds are most common because they take to
other colors well.  Black is good for photography and art sites because
the photos or paintings will stand out and not be disturbed by the
background
color.  Black on a Quake site?  I think it would be perfect but what do
I know.  I've only designed around a dozen sites.   :)
