ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-05-16 17:44:00 UTC 
Can reproduce. Changing the color scheme from either the menubar or the context menu results in BackgroundColorMode not being updated in the gwenviewrc file. Mine appears permanently stuck on `BackgroundColorMode=DocumentView::Neutral`

Probably related to the UI overhaul that removed the background color chooser from the status bar. Noah, could you take a look?

In Gear 22.08 this isn't fixed.
Comment 3 PK 2022-10-15 06:46:30 UTC 
Turnes out that you can choose a background color in Gwenview but that the option has moved to the "View" menu. In this menu there is the option that, for a short time, lived in the status bar of Gwenview. And it works too.
