Not exactly answer to your question, but I guess many people will end up here searching for "how to set app background color".

In your project/index.html set your body class to mat-app-background

And make sure in your project/angular.json you have:

          "./node_modules/@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/YOUR_STYLE.css",
          ...
        ],
