I tried out a few more colors. I gave Christians suggested sky blue another 
chance and made a lighter less saturated blue. It looked better. Quite ok. 
Then I tried gold to see if really no colors with yellow in would work at 
all. Gold looks ok too actually. Not something I'd have on my walls myself, 
but it doesn't look wrong. Then, for some reason I tried an average of light 
blue and gold - and got a really nice color I thought first was called 
beige, but is actually called khaki (according to wikipedia). This is the 
first light color I really like as background. So now, I'm even more 
undecided... :/

Khaki is up at http://runevision.com/3d/metalandflowers/

Khaki, being light, has the advantage that it doesn't suffer from the 
problem that Andrel mentioned:

"If the background color differs too much from the wall color, the first 
impression would be the composition of the frames and not what is in it."

Khaki on a white wall differs just enough to be interesting, but not so much 
that it distracts from the motive. That said, I don't really mind that much 
if people first notice the composition of frames, since this composition is 
indeed part of the "art". So as I said, I'm still undecided...
