What essentially happens is that anywhere where text is drawn the background is indeed #2e3436, but on the rest of the frame it's #2d3335. Amusingly, these two colors have distinct RGB and HSL values, but their CMYK and HSB values are the same (or so says http://rgb.to/hex/2d3335 and http://rgb.to/hex/2e3436, at least).

Could this be the distant-background feature at work?
