black background and tastes

[rameshch45]

I am designing a web application that has black background color - forms come with white background and have default browser colors to display the controls.

Is having a black background a famous 'dislike' in US, European or Asian countries? I like what I see and so do a couple of friends but I want to see what readers here say- thanks.

White on black is just a design issue.
if you honestly think that white on black is good for you go for it. it needs to be done in a very tasteful manor.... i've seen many sites with white on black and they look alrite.

PLEASE NOTE.... makesure you include a few other colors and decent fonts.
