If the background pattern is reverted then each icon and learn more buttons in empty states needs revisiting as the icons and buttons are transparent so the pattern shows through them - cant remember which icon that was a problem for, but was for all the learn more buttons

Plus anywhere else things are transparent get placed on the background directly (cant think of any) need revisiting

I am not in love with the background pattern but it was the only solution I could find for this problem. Maybe someone can find a better solution

@ciar4n Do you have an idea if there is a way to fix the monochrome background being not monochrome issue without using that background pattern?

hm, I wonder how the pattern fixing the color?

Revert all your changes, and try just:

&.monochrome {
  filter: grayscale(1);
  &::after {
      position: fixed;
      top: 0;
      left: 0;
      z-index: -1;
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      content: "";    
      background: var(--atum-bg-dark-5);
  }
}

In some reason filter: grayscale(1); does not applies to the element background, but applies for children.

@brianteeman Could you check the above comment by @Fedik and maybe implement it that way?

Changed the code to use @Fedik version - thanks and to keep @PhilETaylor happy does not reintroduce the background

Wasn't the background pattern meant to be a major new feature of Joomla 4 (2017 edition)...

you wanted it removed so its removed

@Quy @sandramay0905 Could you test again? There has been made a change. Thanks in advance.

Factually correct.

I said 4 days ago:

Also now the patterned background (a personal dislike of mine) is visual and messes with my head on empty states, and bleeds into the learn more button

Nothing in that sentence is asking for it to be removed.

It was @ciar4n that made their own decision to remove it.

I also raised an issue detailing the issue with it and Empty States as a

reminder to revisit the transparency of the icons and the Learn More buttons

At no time did I "want" or demand that it was removed. Please do not put words into my mouth.

I'm just fixing a bug after the changes made in the repaint

So much better. I might just always use monochrome. Looks amazing.
