This may help you:
$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.background
color-shading-type
draw-background
picture-opacity
picture-options
picture-uri
primary-color
secondary-color
show-desktop-icons
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color
'#FFFFFF'
For example, to set blue background:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#0000FF'
HTH,
Germán.
