   And...   
      
   ...as usual...   
      
   ...you're wrong.   
      
   iOS allows you to "*directly* natively set the background color by number"   
      
   Settings   
   Wallpapers   
   Add New   
   Colour   
   Select the colour wheel top left of "Background colour"   
   Then pick by Grid, Spectrum, or Sliders...   
      
   ...with RGB numbers or hex values.   
      
   Now we begin the usual dance where Arlen will first claim this isn't true...   
      
   ...then have to be hit over the head with it repeatedly...   
      
   ...and then will somehow claim he discovered it!
