First off, the link has given me some login thing, so I'll just put in my vote here:

Make it a team decision. If you are having trouble deciding on a single set of colors, try to make a compromise within the group. Pick out a bas color (usually black, grey, or white) and add an additional one or two colors to set up a theme. If you want black and gold, and someone else would like a different set of colors, you should try to make some compromises and maybe add an extra color to the b&g scheme.

Honestly, I do not believe it should be up to the people of CD to make your team's decision for you. So, I will simply give you my short advice: do not break apart the people on your team with small disputes- compromise a bit.

Just as a note: I like the idea of black and gold, just keep a color balence. In my opinion I dislike color schemes in uber-dark (ie black w/ blue text) sites and uber-bright (white + every pastel imaginable) sites because of the eye strain.
