I always wanted black but have been told to keep a site clean and white works best!
However I'll take that one in public!! Black is class - for most business websites or a website for geriatrics I'd always go white, but my own website will be black (coz my website will more a brochure site that an e-business site), and if you keep it clean and only use one colour plus lots of shades of grey I think it looks great. A ***** to keep clean though

Oh and they use less electricity apparently. I read (whilst researching the above sites) that if Google had a black background it would save 2 polar bears a year. Honest.
And of course - rule6.co.uk :cooool:
