Slayer69 you seem like a very helpful person, I purchased a background color for my avatar, I typed in black and as you can see it isn't black, tried to find info on this and couldn't, have no clue how to change it..etc.
Thanks for any help.

You may have to put the hex-color code in (I bought my color a while ago, so I don't remember!). I think that black is #000000. Try that, it should work.

ETA: I just looked at the background color prompt and it says that color codes are what is needed, not color name. So typing in 000000 will turn your background to black. The good thing about using the codes instead of color names, is that you can get an exact color instead of generic, depending on what your picture is. If you click on "color help" next to the input box, a color wheel or something will pop up, from which you can choose a more exact color, if you so desire.
