 Currently, the background colour for the admin is applied to `html` rather
 than `body`. This is not ideal. When applied to `body`, `html` inherits
 the colour. I know it sounds backwards, but that's how it works.

 If a plugin attempts to add a background colour to `body`, there will be
 occasions when both the `html` background colour and the `body` background
 colour are visible at the same time.

 I think simply using `body` is more flexible. I have included a patch.
