Custom Background: Can't Set Color Default

Question

I'm using the standard WP Custom Backgrounds feature, however, the color is defaulting to #166b4c and I'm unsure why. #166b4c does not appear in my stylesheet. Below is my code.

    add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );
    $defaults = array(
        'default-color'          => '000',
        'default-image'          => '',
        'wp-head-callback'       => '_custom_background_cb',
        'admin-head-callback'    => '',
        'admin-preview-callback' => ''
    );

add_theme_support( 'custom-background', $defaults);

You have to pass the $defaults as the second parameter to add_theme_support() per the Codex

$defaults = array(
    'default-color'          => '000000',
    'default-image'          => '',
    'wp-head-callback'       => '_custom_background_cb',
    'admin-head-callback'    => '',
    'admin-preview-callback' => ''
);

add_theme_support( 'custom-background', $defaults);
