This page uses just a little bit of JavaScript to help you see what various background colors look like. A full palette isn't represented here, so if you want more colors, check out VisiBone Webmaster's Color Lab — a great site that shows you what your whole color palette (including backgrounds, text, links, etc.) will look like.
By the way, if you have the resources, try loading this same page on two nearby monitors. Most monitors aren't calibrated correctly anyway, and older ones can be especially out of whack. The same color — even in the same version of browser — can look unrecognizably different just because of the wonky monitor calibrations. And this is to say nothing about the differences between older CRT monitors and the newer LCD's.
And yet, people don't seem to understand Jean Baudrillard. Go figger.
