To be honest i'm undecided too.

I agree with you it's weird that the developer says "use this color" and we show a different one.

On the other hand it's the same case than in the MainView of the SDK is doing so it makes sense that if people are using a backgroundColor in their MainView they can use the same color in the splash and actually get the same color in the splash than in the MainView.

I agree it's weird that if you use the same color on the icon than in the splash background it is weird it looks different in the icon than in the background, but it on the other hand the icon is one of the things people are usually very strict about, so modifying the colors of people's icons is also not the best of the ideas :/

So basically we need some decision on wheter we should either:
 * Not change the background color specified by the developer with "papering" (and thus not matching what the SDK MainView does)
  * It's ok changing the colors of the icon of the application
