Expected Behavior
backgroundColor should modify all canvas background-color?
Current Behavior
It doesn't seem to work as shown in the screenshot below.
For black and blue, everything is... black and blue.
However, for #151515, you can see a graph greyish background, whereas backgroundColor is indeed #151515.

Steps to Reproduce
- Clone public repo: https://github.com/charnould/sanddance-bug-1.git
- Open
index.htmlwithLiver-serverto avoidCORSissue - Modify
backgroundColoraccordingly - See that current behavior is accurate --> That's the bug.
Expected result
For #151515, everything should be #151515.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the linked repository by opening index.html with Liver-server and changing backgroundColor. Compare the canvas for black, blue, and #151515, then trace where those settings are applied. Done means every canvas background uses the configured #151515 color.
