( I don't use 'Welcome Screen' ("LogonType"=dword:00000000) )

When i don't specify a wallpaper picture as background at the
logon window, i sometimes get tired of having the background
light-blue and after backing up the key, i change the value of:

[HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon]
"Background"="64 32 128"
; (Purple background)
; "Background"="37 133 39" (Green background)

Very interesting.

However, I would again stress that in order for your alternative background colour to
be displayed, the value for "Wallpaper" must be set to either "" or "none" .

i.e. :

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="none"

Yes, where i specify a wallpaper for the login-desktop i have it
fill the whole desktop, so whatever color i may have the
background set to is hard to see. :-)

When composing my previous followup, i suddenly realized the
light-blue background you talked about that one sees when using a
Welcome Screen was different from what i see, but i posted it
anyway just in case someone logging in like me sees it and want
to experiment.
