Ew, my eyes. Just because HTML and CSS will allow you to put pink text on a lime green background, it doesn't mean you should ....
There's reasons why sites like the BBC, Amazon, Ebay, Google etc go for a neutral or white background behind black text, and it's all to do with legibility and comfortable reading. That's not me being snotty, it's proven research supported by people like the above and also by organisations like the RNIB and Henshaws.
