MATE Mate makes default Emacs background gray

Emacs background with default theme looks gray but not white, as it should (look at the attached screenshot). I've also tried KDE5, xmonad, sway and hyprland (all on FreeBSD), and everywhere my Emacs looks white as snow. Most likely, this problem exists in Emacs + Mate in other operating systems and Linux distributions. But I don't have any other operating systems.

I believe Emacs should be as simple as possible. I definitely don’t need other colors except on the default theme, because there is no perfect theme that would satisfy all possible modes.

Do you think this is a bug or a feature?

How to make Emacs white again in Mate?

You could use M-x set-background-color interactively to check whether it's possible to set the colour for the selected frame. If that works correctly you could add the following to your init file to make the change happen each time you start Emacs:

Code: 
(set-background-color "white")
 
i use the early-init.el to set my theme doom-solarized-dark

Code: 
(add-hook 'after-init-hook (lambda () (load-theme 'doom-solarized-dark)))
