Section background for modern pages finally rolls out to target release
I am currently not a fan of this feature the way it is now, it could be better if there was a 5th option when selecting a section background color that had "none". Currently I am using a classic theme with a modified palette and this new feature is forcing me to use 1 of 4 of the colors and ruining the aesthetics of my home page. The sections did not have a background prior to this release and that is the way we want it, now we are forced to use one, there is no other option. Shoving a section background down our throats, it would be nice to have a "transparent" or "none" option. Thank you.
This is a feature only for Modern Pages, so I am not sure how a Classic Theme could affect it.
The first option is white, which is also the default background color for Modern Pages. If you do nothing your Modern Pages should still be usable and readable with a white background.

I'm not sure either, and yet it is effecting my site design while using a classic theme. With the options for the classic themes there are a few that have a transparent overlay showing your image in the background, then the page sections are added on top. I attached some images of what our current theme is supposed to look like (nice lighthouse image in the background) vs. what it looks like now with the opaque section backgrounds spanning across the entire section to where you can no longer see the nice image, and the transparent b/g overlay feature is no longer visible...
I actually found an example of what the home page used to look like prior to this change. This is from back in June so all the links are changed now, but you can see the way the background looks with the lighthouse image showing, this is using the "quick links" web parts, those have not changed their placement at all on the home page...

Hi,
I have the same issue asRoseanne Jones with the web parts, not possible to see the background image.
Does anyone have any update in relation to this?
Thanks,
