The background color of the setMesage() and setErrorMessage on a WizardPage do 
not match. The setErrorMessage method of the TitleAreaDialog uses the 
background of the messageLabel for the non-error case, however it uses the 
JFaceColors.getErrorBackground() color for the error case. When the 
setErrorMessage() method is called it causes a gray box to appear within the 
title area on a white background. 

It would be preferred to have the background color of the message and error be 
the same. The error message already contains an error image to notify the user 
of the problem. Changing the color does not look good. 

Snippet from TitleAreaDialog.setErrorMessage()

       if (!showingError) {
                // we were not previously showing an error
                showingError = true;
                // lazy initialize the error background color and image
                if (errorMsgAreaBackground == null) {
                    errorMsgAreaBackground = JFaceColors
                            .getErrorBackground(messageLabel.getDisplay());
                    errorMsgImage = JFaceResources
                            .getImage(DLG_IMG_TITLE_ERROR);
                }
                // show the error
                normalMsgAreaBackground = messageLabel.getBackground();
                setMessageBackgrounds(true);
                messageImageLabel.setImage(errorMsgImage);
                setImageLabelVisible(true);
            }
