I believe the OP wants emacs to autodetect the background color of a
parent terminal process, and set that same color as its own background
at startup.
Some people use different background colors for user/root/remote
shells, and I can imagine that they would want this color to
propagate into emacs automatically, whatever that color may be in each
particular instance.
Best, :-)
