Hey Eve, know of a few similar networks myself and welcome the competition with open arms 
As for the colors, it's an off white #f6f6f6 but I get what you're saying. Reason I'm going with safe colors is because the site, for the most part, will be content heavy. I figured there's no way to go wrong with off black/off white and a hint of solid #2180b9 (blue tone). It'll pretty much appeal to everyone that way. Most blog posts for example will contain graphics so color in those will help keep max focus on the content areas etc.
Still trying to think of how I'm going to setup the footer, not sure how I want it to look yet. Probably will add a quick login box and sign up along with main links etc, will have to play around with that before I start playing with blog post page design and comment section designs etc. Appreciate the feedback btw!
