How to know the background color of a document using OpenXml?

Question

You can walk through the elements of the document

List<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.OpenXmlElement> elements = docx.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.ToList();

OR

 List<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.OpenXmlElement> elements = docx.MainDocumentPart.Document.ToList();

But there is no background color of the document itself.

 foreach (DocumentFormat.OpenXml.OpenXmlElement element in elements) { List<RunProperties> runProps = element.Descendants<RunProperties>().ToList(); foreach (RunProperties rp in runProps) { rp.Color; } }

Example xml -> xopusfiddle.net/2ffnU No, using DocumentFormat.OpenXml is optional, but how else can you work with OpenXml?
I do not understand how to find out the background color of the document.
You can try to use System.Xml, but how does this help to know the background color?

If you mean the color that is set in Page Layout of the Page Background page color , then it lies in file.docx/word/document.xml in the color attribute of the background tag, in the root document tag and I managed to get it with the following code:

 using (var file = WordprocessingDocument.Open(filepath, isEditable: false)) { foreach (var db in file.MainDocumentPart.Document.ChildElements.OfType<DocumentBackground>()) Console.WriteLine(db.Color); }

But keep in mind that it may not be there (in your document I don’t see it).

the problem is that I also don’t see the color and don’t understand what needs to be done to see it and pull it out
