FWIW - I often look at JS and CSS files in my browser. I find black on
white too glaring, so set the default background-color to gray. So I
understand your issue.
As well as background-color, it helps to set things like margins,
padding, and line-height in the CSS as well, since browsers differ.
Taking your idea further, Eric Meyer publishes a "universal
reset"[1] that puts all browsers on an even footing. If you use
something like this as a starting point, changing the CSS properties
to values that are to your liking, you stand a good chance of getting
cross-browser agreement.
So, yes, your point is a good one, and can be taken a lot further.

... or some color to your liking, of course.
