Just a quick note that the background color is ALWAYS applied, not 
just when images are unavailable.  This can matter if you are using a 
partially transparent image as a background and don't want the 
background color to apply if the image is loaded.  At the moment, 
there is no way in CSS to check for image loading before applying a 
background color.  This would have to be done through scripting.

This capability has been mentioned several times in connection with 
CSS3, but (without checking) I don't think anything concrete has made 
it into the draft specs, yet, and I'm certain nothing useful is 
supported by actual browsers at this time.
