     As you've found, this is yet another of these manufacturer dependent   
   functions. As you - again - did not mention your brand, model and   
   Android version (no, we don't keep a database of people's devices), we   
   can't give a universal solution, at least not without and add-on app   
   (which has already been mentioned).   
      
     That said, there also might be a wallpaper setting in (an) other   
   place(s) than Settings.   
      
     For (example on my Samsung Galaxy A56 Android 16) phone, one can use   
   the (picture) 'Gallery' app to set any picture - i.e. also one with a   
   single colour - as the wallpaper, by selecting a picture and then using   
   the three-vertical-dots menu, which has 'Set as wallpaper'.   
      
     HTH.
