OS/2 Warp 3

I remember when I saw OS/2 for the first time on my grandfather's computer. He and my uncle told me, it's the better alternative to Windows. All included schemes had their own background color. Some of them showed a bitmap-mosaic by default, but they still had a solid color as fallback.
