[SOLVED] Body color and image together

Hi there, I've spent 30 minutes looking through the forum to find the solution before posting but still was not able to resolve this... it's such a simple problem but I can't get a body image PLUS background color to show together. Here's the site under development: http://choose-light.com/


I have the following code in ATO - Body text & links - body style

font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-size: 1em;
padding-top: 125px; padding-bottom: 20px;
background: #EEEEEE; url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/spectrum_body.png) no-repeat top center;

Depending on the browser, I can see the background color OR the image but not both. Testing on current versions of FF, Chrome and IE on Vista as well as 10.6.8. I've tried with a .jpg and same results.
