You could try adding something like the following to about line 27 of the 
styles.css file:
    .node .content
      {background-color: #000;}

That will make the background of only the node's content black (not the 
"submitted by", etc.).

This will make the entire node's background black:
    .node
      {background-color: #000;}

Both of those will affect all nodes, however, not just images.

There may be a better class or id to use, but I'm not at all familiar w/the 
gallery, and there wasn't anything obvious to my in my cursory glance.
