Openframeworks: [REQUEST] better background color when generating new projects

[lewislepton]

I think that the generated background color could be better by being darker when generating a new project.

I think for learners, when creating shapes with no colors etc at first, it can be hard to see shapes right from the start. you can see that the circle is not perfect, but with a darker background, this makes it easier to see. the same with 3d objects as well. its easier on the eyes & you can see properly.
even more so if your shapes are smaller on screen

I set the background on grayscale to 60 & it feels right, because its not too dark. but just think its nicer for people starting out to have a project that generates something a bit darker & makes it clearer for people to see shapes.

a better experience in total ;)

I know we can set this with ofBackground() or ofSetBackgroundColor(). but for folks starting out, they may not know that. so are stuck with this brighter & harder to see way until they figure the solution out

I support for this small and helpful change -- darker grey still feels neutral and helps white things pop. We default with white for draw color since beginners can sometimes get tripped up with drawing images and colors tinting the draw.

I'm open to the background color going darker. but when I did try on 30 & on 0. the whites then felt too bright. so the 60 on grayscale felt the best in total & evened it all out the best

Looks great to me. I remember that we chose 127 cause both bright and dark colors would be visible on such a background. I think this was like 12 years ago :) so probably not very relevant but just in case.

Would this mean only changing this line?

Looks good to me.
Makes more 'professional'. I support the idea.
