Wow Kevin, getting all arty-fartsy on us eh?
You are right though - colors have a huge effect on usability. More importantly, dark sites are more likely to be perceived as "not safe for work". Mostly because porno and most gambling sites are black, red, or dark blue background.
Those of us who work in corporate offices appreciate having a more "business-friendly" set of colors. Not only that, blue has been shown to be a more soothing color than, say, red. Thats why McDonalds is Red (to get you excited about eating burgers), but the start menu in Windows XP is blue by default (to relax you as you use your computer).
