There is 'gtk_override_background_color' (also deprecated since 3.16) but that exhibits the same problem as the CSS-based solution: while the color of the background indeed changes, it also sets the color of the selection highlight to the same color. As a result, when you select text in this TextView, you cannot see how much you have selected.
