I would like to know a way to change the background color of the section page in the beamer metropolis theme.
I tried something like this:
\setbeamercolor{sectionpage}{fg=blue,bg=blue}
but it didn't work. Any ideas?
cheers,

I will simply point you a snippet producing the above frames generated by adding after the default title page
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=cyan!50!white}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=yellow!50!white}
\setbeamercolor{section title}{fg=white,bg=red!50!black}
\section{Introduction}
I wanted to make the section pages look like standout
frame style in metropolis theme. You can do this by including the following in the preamble:
\AtBeginSection{
{
\metroset{background=dark}
\frame[plain,c,noframenumbering]{\sectionpage}
}
}
Hope this helps.
Building on the answer by tachyon, I added the following to my preamble
\AtBeginSection{
{
\setbeamercolor{section title}{fg=white} % font color
\frame[standout]{\sectionpage} % the "standout" keyword makes the background dark
}
}
\documentclass
and ends with\end{document}
since then others won't have to do that for you.
