Sometimes, the background of Wikipedia is grey, and sometimes it is white (see http://jonasrand.110mb.com/images/Greywiki-screenshot.PNG and http://jonasrand.110mb.com/images/Whitewiki-screenshot.PNG). This is both on Simple English Wikipedia (shown) and the regilar English Wikipedia. Can someone explain this phenomenon?

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not seeing a clear difference between the backgrounds on those two images.

The first image has a grey background on the menu bar on the left, whereas the second image has a white one.

Me three. Oh, and the 404 problem someone brought up can be resolved by copying and pasting the URLs straight into your browser, rather than clicking on them. The host is probably paranoid about hotlinking.

They aren't here. Might be a problem on your end of the connection.

I'm viewing in Firefox. Perhaps my eyesight is exceptional :-)
This does not need be called a "phenomenon", nor a "blind camp" to explain it. :)
Simply the gray colors comes from the CSS background declaration on the body element:
background: #F9F9F9 url (headbg.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0pt 0pt;
Sometimes. browsers fail to pick up every background image or CSS declaration, so you're left with the default white background color.
If you're using Firefox, and Firebug installed, you can disable that CSS declaration and see the effect in real time.

Shrug, dunno. Both redirect me to http://www.110mb.com/404.php.
The page you're accessing no longer exists or you mistyped the URL.
Can't see it. Upload to commons.
