Recommended Solution:

You can use the setSolidFill() method. You may refer to this sample script below to change a slide page background color:

Script:

function myFunction() { 
  var hex_color = '#2a2a2a'; //The background color set in dark gray
  var selection = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSelection();
  var currentPage = selection.getCurrentPage();
  var bg = currentPage.getBackground();
  bg.setSolidFill(hex_color);
}
