   It never occurred to you that ChatGPT isn't necessarily accurate?   
      
   You can most definitely choose solid background colours in iOS...   
      
   ...AND it definitely exposes all the RGB colours.

   Go to "Wallpapers" in settings.   
      
   Create a new wallpaper (if you don't want to fool with an existing one)   
      
   Choose "Colour" from the top options.   
      
   You'll be presented with an array of 18 "Background Colour[s]" to choose   
   from...   
      
   ...AND a spot where you can tap to choose any colour in the RGB gamut.   
      
   You can choose from a larger grid of colours...   
      
   ...or from a spectrum of all the colours there are...   
      
   ...OR by numerically choosing your values for RGB individually...   
      
   ...or by hex colour value.
