    background color will depend on the theme of your site. if you have a rock/underground site then go with a dark color.

    Dark background doesn't work very well as 'Ads by Google' will stand out on your site..

    I assume that the overall purpose of the blog is to provide info to your visitors...in which case, I would go with the white background since it's easier on the eye. People get irritated when reading font on dark backgrounds...i.e. white font on black background.

    So you think a white background is ideal? What color would you try to write the letters? You want a nice blend...

    If easy on the eyes is your aim then actually white text on a blue blackground is the easiest for the eye to manage.
