I think Max implied that he wanted to submit a report as complete as 
possible up front.

Yes, therefore it would also be a good idea to have a screenshot, 
especially one containing a correct picture and the equivalent broken 
picture side to side. That way, for example, someone who doesn't have the 
OS required to run the bug, can still fix the bug by just looking at the 
screenshot. But this requires an example with enough different colours... 
just grey is not enough. For example, this picture :

has more colours than one would ever need, to identify the problem, so, 
it's perfect for that.
