That will change the background, you can read more about it on http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html

You shouldn't be using PhotoBucket to store the image though, put it on your own site otherwise you risk slowing your page load times down or not being able to retrieve the image leaving your site without a background.

Website elements are one of those rare things in life where it is best to put all your eggs in one basket. Using images from another site doubles the risk of something going wrong.
