Which background do you prefer? Black, Grey or white?

I don't like how sterile the white looks. The grey has a warm sepia look that isn't there in real life and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I like the black, but I don't think the shadows are flattering.

I'm using a canon dslr and a popup white fabric lightbox with three daylight bulbs from home depot. I have the light adjustment on the camera set for tungsten and that helps make them look less yellow, but it still has a warm look that I don't think should be there.

I tried using the manual white balance and took a picture of a white piece of paper, but it made everything look too blue to me.

Thoughts and suggestions?
