I use <body> these days, coupled with CSS to specify all the colours for
text, links, backgrounds etc etc.

I decided it's time I stopped worrying about dinosaurs that can't handle
CSS.   As someone else commented..  The default colours can be set in the
browser (by the user) anyway.  So if they insist on using legacy software
that doesn't support CSS, they can set the browser to suit themselves.
