Don’t Forget to Use CSS Background-color

I recently altered my Firefox preferences to display a custom peach color background. Initially the purpose was to ensure that my designs were displaying their CSS background colors properly.

Since that time, I have noticed other web pages were displaying my custom background instead of what the designers thought they had designed.

All it takes is a simple background declaration in the CSS file and this problem can be fixed.

body {background: #fff;}

So many designers either forget or take for granted that their default browser background color (usually white) will be the same default color for all their visitors. No so!
