Comment:

 I would say this a blocker as many companies / people / personal branding
 use a transparency on the graphics for the background. When see a new
 color added to the mix it throws people off and they think they are doing
 something wrong. Most just leave the feature as unused if they can't get
 the image to look like the one uploaded.

 > If you have a transparent png as an icon (a lot of logos are
 transparent), you cannot see the rounded corners of the mobile preview
 icon without some color on the background. #000 is what iOS uses.
