I think most people agree there isn't just one best colour, because the colour in one model might work better with a certain background compared to another model which is coloured very differently. Previous thread on this with some example pics:

Black can work well for a lot of subjects because it doesn't clash with any colours (just as with neutral greys, which go with everything). A black backdrop can make correct exposure of the photograph difficult because the camera might overcompensate for the dark area in the image so you might need to manually adjust for this.

I think as the forum now automatically resizes photos included within posts that any size within reason is fine. I wouldn't post a full-size image straight from a high-red camera though, they're huge on screen! 800 to 1,000 pixels in width is probably an okay average size, showing enough detail without being too large.
