Perspective TimeSeriesChart background color

I'm trying to change the plot color of a TimeSeriesChart for perspective. On a PowerChart I can do this from the plots>color and I like the way this looks

Closest I have gotten with the TimeSeriesChart is to change the background style and do backgroundClip: content-box but that washes out the time axes labels

If is the bad contrast between the background and the axis labels that is the problem, you could just set the font to white in the properties:

So what I'm looking for is how to change the background color of just the plot area like in the first image.

I haven't found any good way to do it maybe one of the CSS guru's have something up their sleeves. Putting a blank label with a background color behind the chart in the z-order worked but doesn't feel like a great solution.
