+CoreWebView2ControllerOptions.DefaultBackgroundColor
+===
+# Background
+
+Previously, there was a fix to address an issue where the background color controller property
+was applied too late, causing a disruptive white flash during the WebView2 loading process.
+
+This fix required using an environment variable. However, this workaround was not meant to be 
+a long-term solution. Therefore, we need to add this setting to `ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions` 
+to apply the color early in the loading process.
+
+# Description
+
+This interface extends the `ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions` to expose the `DefaultBackgroundColor` 
+property as an option.
+The `CoreWebView2ControllerOptions.DefaultBackgroundColor` API  allows users to set the 
+`DefaultBackgroundColor` property at initialization.
+
+This is useful when setting it using the existing [`CoreWebView2Controller.DefaultBackgroundColor API`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.web.webview2.core.corewebview2controller.defaultbackgroundcolor?view=webview2-dotnet-1.0.2792.45)
+applies the color too late.
+
+
+
+# Examples
+
+## Win32 C++
+```cpp
+ HRESULT AppWindow::CreateControllerWithOptions()
+{
+    wil::com_ptr<ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions4> options4;
+    HRESULT hr = m_environment->CreateCoreWebView2ControllerOptions(&options);
+
+    if (hr == E_INVALIDARG)
+    {
+        return S_OK;
+    }
+
+    wil::com_ptr<ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions4> options4;
+    auto result = options->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&stagingOptions));
+
+    if (SUCCEEDED(result))
+    {
+        COREWEBVIEW2_COLOR wvColor{255, 223, 225, 225};
+        stagingOptions->put_DefaultBackgroundColor(wvColor);
+    }
+
+    m_environment->CreateCoreWebView2Controller(
+        m_mainWindow,
+        SUCCEEDED(result) ? stagingOptions.Get() : options.Get(),
+        Callback<ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2ControllerCompletedHandler>(
+            this, &AppWindow::OnCreateCoreWebView2ControllerCompleted).Get());
+
+    return S_OK;
+
+}
+```
+
+
+
+## C#
+```c#
+public MainWindow()
+{
+    InitializeComponent();
+    SetDefaultBackgroundColor();
+}
+
+private void SetDefaultBackgroundColor()
+{
+    CoreWebView2Environment environment = CoreWebView2Environment.CreateAsync();
+    CoreWebView2ControllerOptions options = environment.CreateCoreWebView2ControllerOptions();
+    options.DefaultBackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 255);
+    WebView2.EnsureCoreWebView2Async(environment, options);  
+}
+
+```

+# API Details
+
+## Win32 C++
+ ```cpp
+/// This interface extends the ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions interface to expose the DefaultBackgroundColor property.
+/// It is encouraged to transition away from the environment variable and use this API solution to apply the property.
+
+[uuid(df9cb70b-8d87-5bca-ae4b-6f23285e8d94), object, pointer_default(unique)]
+interface ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions4 : IUnknown {
+
+  /// This API allows users to initialize the `DefaultBackgroundColor` early,
+  /// preventing a white flash that can happen while WebView2 is loading when
+  /// the background color is set to something other than white. With early
+  /// initialization, the color remains consistent from the start. After
+  /// initialization, `ICoreWebView2Controller2::get_DefaultBackgroundColor`
+  /// will return the value set using this API. 
+  ///
+  /// The `DefaultBackgroundColor` is the color that renders underneath all web
+  /// content. This means WebView renders this color when there is no web 
+  /// content loaded. When no background color is defined in WebView2, it uses
+  /// the `DefaultBackgroundColor` property to render the background.
+  /// By default, this color is set to white.
+  ///
+  /// Currently this API only supports opaque colors and transparency. It will
+  /// fail for colors with alpha values that don't equal 0 or 255 ie. translucent
+  /// colors are not supported. When WebView2 is set to have a transparent background, 
+  /// it renders the content of the parent window behind it.
+
+  [propget] HRESULT DefaultBackgroundColor([out, retval] COREWEBVIEW2_COLOR* value);
+  [propput] HRESULT DefaultBackgroundColor([in] COREWEBVIEW2_COLOR value);

+
+## .NET WinRT
