It's very simple. I was wondering what you people thaught about it before I tried submitting. Does it need a background? are the colors okay? feedback please.

The contrast is in your layout is hardly noticeable. I would either choose a darker green or a darker blue. It feels like an eye sore right now with similar colors paired with the blinding white. I don't like the two content boxes you have. . .it's confusing, and they are far too close to each other. I would do something to the bottom half of the content box to make it obvious that is actually a second content box.

I would also suggest using more than two colors. It looks pretty bland as it is right now just with a rounded table and one big brush at the bottom.

And you need to look into coding for Firefox, as well. There is no gradient on Firefox.
