Why do you have both -background white AND -background none. The last one is probably what is in effect and it sets the background to transparent which would look like gray in some displays.
Actually -frame has two color settings. -matte is used for the base color that is used in the frame, while -bordercolor is used as the backgroudn fill within the frame. this only effects images containing transparency.
