[Python] How to get the background color of a web page using selenium with python

Using this code:

import re

def rgba_to_hex(rgba_str):
# Extract the numbers from the rgba string
match = re.match(r'rgba?\((\d+), (\d+), (\d+)(?:, [\d.]+)?\)', rgba_str)
if not match:
return None
r, g, b = map(int, match.groups()[:3])
return '#{:02x}{:02x}{:02x}'.format(r, g, b)

# Example use with Selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.ft.com")
time.sleep(3)

bg_color_rgba = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME,
"body").value_of_css_property("background-color")
bg_color_hex = rgba_to_hex(bg_color_rgba)

print("Background color (hex):", bg_color_hex)

driver.quit()


I get the Background color (hex): #000000 but inspecting the code of the page shows the background color of the financial times is a peach color: #fff1e5

Why am I getting black?
