title: Ionic 3 background colors
body: <p>Is there a built-in way to set background color on <code>&lt;ion-content&gt;</code> in Ionic 3?</p>
  
  <p>In Ionic 1, we could set the color scheme for <code>&lt;ion-content&gt;</code> using classes like <code>content-stable</code>. In newer versions of Ionic, you can set the color of certain components with input variables, for example <code>&lt;ion-navbar color="dark"&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;ion-item color="dark"&gt;</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried this kind of input on <code>ion-content</code> but without any success. I could set <code>background-color</code> manually, for example <code>style="background-color:#ddd;"</code>, but if there is a 'proper' way to do this in Ionic I would rather do that instead. What is the 'official' way to do this?</p>
