Here are a collection of images commonly used for backgrounds.  A lot of the time, webmasters will want their background to be just one color, so they set it in the page properties box.  However, since all monitors are not calibrated the same, the colors don't always match the background of the images they are using.   The only way to be sure you pages will blend well are to use images for the background instead of choosing a default browser palette.

Also, swatch images are convienient when you are working with tables.  If you assign an image to the table but want an individual cell to be a different color... the color of the cell won't show up because the table background is dominant.
By using a color swatch for the cell, you eliminate this problem.

Please Note: these color images are 10 pixels X 10 Pixels.  They are just enlarged so you can see them better.
