On this thread (https://musescore.org/fr/node/251491), a user wanted to be able to reduce the gap between the pages. For my part, I support this request.
A background of a bright color in combination with a "neutral" paper causes a strong contrast. The eye must adapt continuously between areas of very different appearance and luminance. This is one of the proven factors of visual fatigue.

Wish: reduce this gap! And the more the better, probably. That said, I can not say how much, not knowing the effect produced.

For illustration, a comparison between 1) MuseScore, 2) Sibelius and 3) Dorico. I have a favorite, you guess which one!

"why would one use this contrasting background color?"
And why not? :)
For develop: in Preferences -> Canvas, you have the choice of the background colors. So, if a user likes a specific color (has a favorite color), again, why don't allow to him this choice, without the constraint (or reduced constraint) of a tiring visual contrast.

  • EDIT:
    See the example of the user choice, a red color (on mentioned french thread):
