The background color of the new tab page replaces the one used by some websites.

Firefox Navigation

On certain websites, I see that the background color of the new tab page replaces the default background color making the content unreadable, example:

If I browser this website: https://typespec.io/docs

Here's what I see (see the firsrt attached screenshot). Now, if I open the same URL in Private browsing, the background color changes too (see the second screeenshot). In the 3rd screenshot I'm adding the reference rendering, that's how I expect this website to render (Edge).

In the screenshot 1 and 2, the background color is exactly the same as the one used by the new tab page when I open a new tab.

Questions: 1) Why is that? 2) Can I change that?

Context: I'm trying to switch to Firefox (from Edge)

I disabled the following setting in "Privacy & Security": Allow Firefox to install and run studies

Websites' background colors are now displayed as they should.

How are you setting the background color? Are you changing the default color setting in "Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Colors" as that can cause issues like you posted ?

Note that you can set a wallpaper to the Firefox Home page by clicking the cog icon in the top right corner.

I don't know: I don't think I did anything to change the background color of the sites I browse to. I'm adding the screenshot of the setting you suggested.

I don't want to change the wallpaper of the Firefox Home Page

I visited that site you posted on Firefox and I get the third image no color background change. And this is with default settings on Firefox.
