What are the RGB values of the background color of tex.sx main site?

Question

In his contest entry, Gonzalo Medina claims that

% some colors that will be used (taken form the colors used at TeX.sx)
\definecolor{headtitle}{RGB}{167,63,63} %(red)
\definecolor{headbg}{RGB}{244,218,151} %(yellow)
\definecolor{grlngreen}{RGB}{208,212,171} %(green)
\definecolor{grlnblue}{RGB}{100,169,212} %(blue)
\    definecolor{grlngray}{RGB}{76,76,74} %(gray)

The only color that is even close to the main site background color(bgc) is the yellow above. But, I think bgc is lighter than that. What are the RGB numbers of bgc?

The main background color of the main site is the HTML color FCFAF3 thats RGB {252,250,243}. You can see this with an HTML/CSS tool like Firebug quite easily.

The bar at the top is actually done using the following image:

The image seems to not have a single color but have some gradient. It is also partially transparent. Its channels are like follows:
