Black
I love black the colour. It's graceful, it looks mature, demonstrates confidence and power. But I hate to see it in the background of a web page. I spend plenty of my time in front of a computer screen, so I have to have an anti-glare screen on, and monitor brightness set to zero. And then someone shows me a page in white on black, ah..hardly readable. So I've to change Page Style to No Style in my Firefox browser to make the page readable, unfortunately no such option is available in IE that I know of.
Speaking of colour contrast and readability, I once read black on yellow is the most contrasting combination followed by black on white, hence the readablity(btw black on yellow would look awful on a webpage if not handled properly). There are ways to make a page look "cool" other than painting it black.
