Overall Site Background Style App error is there a CSS Workaround?

Currently as my site loads it displays a darker colour background from the theme. The app way of changing site styles is currently not working for me and apparently the engineer team are looking into this but for now a temporary workaround is required. I wondered if anyone knows how to fix this using CSS or Custom Code. Basically changing the default site style to lightest which you can only do in the app (which seems very odd!)

 

If you click the demo you can see a darker peach colour is displayed before the page loads:

As far as I'm aware there's no longer a method of changing this. I have no idea why, it's a very sensible feature and one of the very few aspects of your website that is set by the template. The mobile change method used to work, but hasn't for quite a long time for me, I've also asked and got the response more like they didn't know that used to be possible, and I don't have much hope of it returning as a working feature any time soon, though I do think this needs to be reinstated. The only alternative is to change all of the colours in the base site theme, or change just the background colour and then not use that theme to save switching every single colour.

Fingers crossed, though not holding my breath.
