The background was originally a deep purple. Looked pretty good. We later switched to the current sky blue. I have been hesitant to change background colour, although not to a different design, because a lot of styling code is derived from the exact colour gradient, not to mention contrasts such text colour that may be affected, particularly if we switched to a dark theme. I am actually currently in the process of changing values to automatically inherit previously specified colours, and CSS variables have also been introduced into browsers other than Firefox (if you remember that clock colour experiment), so significant overhauling is quite probable among these site updates. Also, I provided alternate colour schemes for a few foreign wikis, so if they haven't been changed since, you might be able to see corresponding designs in green, yellow or red.
