A black would have too much contrast (like this navy blue does, but it's worse because it contrasts sharply with both the white and black), and a white would feel invasive. A steely/storm grey would be just right
All of the colors I can turn it to make it not look horrid are 'lighter' colors that don't let white take up too much space and that don't look like murder between the white and black. Grey, lavender, sky, pink, silver, mellow, faded traffic cone, tan, cyan... all workable and I'd be fine with any of them. Navy blue (and for that matter, the sharp black on the forum also jarrs me, but I can live with it since it is black), contrasts sharply with both the black and the white of the forum, and makes me feel like this is the high contrast option from windows.
Damn someone's thinking into this!
