Is there any chance to set the background color of the area behind the title?
In this case, change the Grey to BLACK!
Spoiler:
Something like:
STARTUPCOLORS = "<foreground color>", "<background color>", "<background title color>"

Unless I am mistaken that is precisely what the second parameter does. Only caveat is if it's set to black it defaults to IWADINFO's color, so you have to set it a single tint off black.
Have you tried STARTUPCOLORS="#ff0000","#000001" ?
This sets it to a blue that is so dark it might as well be black, anyway.

!?
The wick says this is expressed in HEX values.

Ooops, sorry - my bad.
STARTUPCOLORS="ff 00 00","00 00 01"
I (think) GZDoom will accept this format?

Interesting... Doesn't work with Black!
STARTUPCOLORS = "00 00 00", "00 00 00"

Yeah, that is because of the way it is coded.
There are a few lines of code that, when GAMEINFO startup colors are set to black, it retrieves the IWADINFO colors instead. That is by design, but I do not know if that is actually desirable.

Yes the suggestion already exists but it doesn't work with the color I tried. That's why I thought it wasn't possible.
I'm leaving this open mainly to see if Graf wants to change the behavior of this or not, since it is clearly not expected behavior - but it's also been a part of ZDoom so long now that it might be unchangeable anyhow. He's going to have to make the call on that one.

Wish me luck because i really liked that.
The STARTUP looks so damn BEAUTIFUL even though it's not totally black "00 00 01".
Besides, it's just a detail from a mod that wouldn't do anything to anyone's gameplay. I suppose!

Sharing what has worked for me in hopes of that being useful:
This was actually black. I was aiming for empty black space, hence spaces in the title.
If I were to include a printable character it would output as red
