Themes can change this with ntp_card_background but it is not exposed by Firefox Color.

Another way is with userContent.css:

@-moz-document url(about:home), url(about:newtab) {
  body {
    --newtab-background-color-secondary: red !important; 
  }

}

So how do I change it? I'm not planning on publishing a theme (I'm just doing this to change the appearance of Firefox for myself). I tried poking around in the CSS and changing the variable works fine. How do I make it permanent?

Follow the same procedure here but name the file userContent.css instead of userChrome.css.
