What's this all about? It's about using another color other than black for your gradcolor and bgcolor.
What it really is: Just selecting an alternate color to replace your worn out black background color, when playing with GradTables. Interesting things can be done using this method and it opens alot more possibilities.
How Exactly?
First we need to pick out a solid background color that is dark. The same basic rules apply when choosing your colors. You will need a DARK solid background color to match your GradColors, much the same way you would use BLACK in your scheme.
A good example of this is the pillars that border this page. The background color is #000044 Both the background color and Table BgColor Match. Just like having a BLACK BgColor, in both places.
The trick is trying to get COLORS that actually look good together and mix well for a desired shade.

The thing you need to Watch Out for is selecting colors that are darker in the middle than they are on the outside. Always try to use the Dark to light method. Ortherwise you may get some undesired results.
