This function is far less useful than it seems, and it should not be used in
newly written code. CSS has no concept of "background color", as a background
can be an image, or a gradient, or any other pattern including solid colors.
The only reason why you would call gtk_style_context_get_background_color() is
to use the returned value to draw the background with it; the correct way to
achieve this result is to use gtk_render_background() instead, along with CSS
style classes to modify the color to be rendered.
Gets the background color for a given state.
