   In Win 10/11 you can directly enter the hex values.

   No need to install Imagmagic to generate a monochrome picture   
   of screen size. There should be a web browser available on any   
   phone/tablet.   
      
   - Create a html file with this content:   
         
      or use this one: https://onlib.de/temp/1.html   
      
   - open the html file in a web broser   
   - make a screen shot   
   - open the screen shot and zoom in until only the color is displayed   
   - again make a screen shot   
      
   Now you have a picture of the size of the screen with only one   
   color which you can use as background image.
