While this works today be advised that this component's style is meant to be managed by salesforce and the structure/style classes you see today are not guaranteed to be stable.   The best advice is to create your own pageblock component with the style attributes you want and css class names which refer to styles in your static resource stylesheet (not the salesforce.com standard CSS). 

Of course there is always a judgement call as to how significant an impact a change would cause. In this case if the background color goes from white to the default then it might not be too bad to take a reactive approach... unless, perhaps, if you are using a font color that is equal to our background color ;-)

Hi,

 As per my knowledge you can't change the background of the pageblock, because it uses the salesforce standard style sheets.
 If you want to change the background, you should not place the code in pageblocks, you have to remove it and then apply your custom style sheets.

You can override the stylesheets by using a styleblock at the top of your page

Code:
<apex:page>
    <style type="text/css">
/* Color for the title bar */ .bPageBlock .pbHeader { background-color:#FF0000; } .bPageBlock .pbBody {
/* Color for the pageblock background */ background-color:#FFFFFF; }
.bPageBlock
        {
/* Custom background image at the bottom of the pageblock
which you may need to edit.     
background-image:url(your_new_background_image);*/
        }

    </style>
    <apex:pageBlock title="Color Test" >
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:page>

However, be aware that there is a background image at the bottom of the page block, which you'll need to update to get the colors correct. Although if you want a white background, you might not notice it, but there again ....
