Um. I just said I set the background to black. That means the black swatch.

I didn't know about that extra dimming thing, but I checked it out and turning it off or on doesn't make a difference to the color. If I turn the brightness way up, the background is clearly brown and not actually black.

HOWEVER: what you said actually did help me. It's the cold/warm slider on the contrast button that is the source of my problems! It was all the way over on warm, and THAT is causing the background to be brown. If I turn it colder, the brown goes away!

So, thanks!
