While Andy & I have said that 'some phones' do it natively, whether or not
you can point the wallpaper mechanism to a solid color *natively* is
dependent on the phone model, the launcher & the Android version (AFAIK).
However, this is a general-purpose solution for all Android phones.
For someone like the OP to *not* have known that is a problem because it's
found in almost every search you can run on how to set Android wallpapers.
Having provided a general-purpose solution for everyone, including Chris
Green, you'd think a "thank you" would be the outcome, but nope.
Chris Green doesn't even provide the courtesy of a thank you.
He never does.
He never will.
What Chris Green does is continue to insist "he" can't do it, while
instantly amplifying the "mock surprise" trolls from the likes of Alan
Baker (who has never owned an Android phone in his entire life, as he is an
Apple religious zealot to the core so he only posted to deprecate Android).
BTW, to add further value to the general-purpose solution I proposed, there
is a "fingerprint" privacy advantage to using the app that as over 1B+
downloads, as if you pick the "black" wallpaper in that app, you and
perhaps one tenth of the billion people who have downloaded that app will
have, we hope, the same fingerprint.
*How your phone can be tracked by your wallpaper*
It's what I'd do anyway, as I almost always follow my own recommendations.
