"black" to emacs is really color 0, which I have defined to be a dark
grey color (#2e3436) in my terminal (see attached screenshot). I do that
because it is a useful color to have rather than duplicating the #000000
color which can already be achieved by specifying no background color.

For the record, I'm using gnome-terminal with the Tango color palette.
When that palette was first intoduced, it had color 0 set to #2e3436,
but at some point they changed it to #000000 (which arguably makes it
non-Tango as #000000 is not found in
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines). But I still
customize color 0 to #2e3436, to have a wider range of colors.

This actually works. The background color of the parenthesis no longer
bleeds into the margin. Thanks!
