a nice example of a shaded background by Murray in my usenet mail:-

Look at my site - http://www.great-web-sights.com - and note how the
background is a fading blue horizontal stripe. It eventually fades to a
solid very light blue. Here is my CSS -


body {
background: url(newimages/page_bkg.jpg) #edf2f8 repeat-x;
margin: 7px 0px;
color: #000;
text-align: center
}

This rule says to make the body color #EDF2F8 (that's the light blue). It also says to use a background image -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/newimages/page_bkg.jpg - and to tile it
horizontally across the page. The color of the background happens to be the
same as the ending color of the gradient on the image.
