Set syle to body tag using elm-css

I’ve past the last 3 days trying to set background-color to body section without using external css and I’ve been unsuccessful on this. every time I google it, or search on the docs, I find functions supposedly to set this, but once elm is functional, I know none of them should be called on global scope or would make sense to set a global state even if I could call them. can someone give me an example of how to do it properly? not even on the repo for elm-css I found any example showing how to do it

thanks in advance

Here’s an example in Ellie https://ellie-app.com/pGzjYbq7Mbba1. This doesn’t use elm-css, but does what you need.

In elm-css, you want to use

[ Css.backgroundColor color ]
  |> Css.Global.body
  |> Css.Global.global

I appreciate the solution that uses “pure” elm once it teaches me what the library may actually do and also increase my understanding of the language in general. thank you
