The above solution just colours the 'No documents found' message as the same as the background. There is a technique to make the browser ignore the message for views that use the display using HTML option:
put html open comments '<!--' before the embedded view.
In the title of the first view column close the html comments '-->'
After the embedded view put an open and close html comments '<!-- -->'
You need to make sure that the column headings are being displayed and that the html comments are being passed through as html - either use passthru html or square brackets [ ] around the comments above.
With this technique either the html comments are opened before the view and then closed in the by the column headings of the view, however if no documents are found the column headings are not displayed so the comments are closed after the view is displayed.

If you don't have any other h2's then you can also use:
<style>h2 {display: none;}</style>

Just in the document.ready-Event / onLoad-Event of your JS-File / Form etc.
$("h2:contains('No documents found')").remove();
