I expect Elements will devise a more streamline way to apply a background colour to the body soon. Right now, there are a few ways to skin this cat, but one of my favourites :
Works if you use a container as the outer most element of the page.
Select the container.
Set its background colour (the faux body background).
Content layout > align top
Sizing > enable min max
Disable the theme on the min height.
Enter: 100vh
Yes agreed! We really need a page level setting to set the background colour. I’ve added it to the list.
Would be really nice if this was in its self a component (locked in place) that when clicked revealed the body settings in the settings column, just as other components do. There’s a few settings that could be included as well as background.
Oh, that is an interesting idea. I like it. I wonder if we can easily make that work 
Yeah ogimage would be cool as well .. no need to write a custom component 
Tons of stuff that could be added to page level. Including default text-font / text-size and color 
On the other side you have the page settings. Might make sense to seperate between those 2.
Seo => Document Settings
Custom CSS for the body => @Doobox idea
Sorry @dan .. my imagination runs wild
