To change Metro screen color and picture launch Windows 8 Start Tweaker and select an image by clicking on the green image and select a custom picture to make it as your Metro Start Screen background. Then select a color for the metro background the same way. Click Apply and log off for the changes to be applied.

Note: If you want the image to fill out the whole screen, you should select a picture which has a height as twice as your Screen Resolution. To revert the changes click Reset from main interface.

Similarly, you can change the Metro Star Screen background with an image of your liking. Normally, when you change an image the background of the start screen, the middle of the background is filled with the default metro color which in the below screenshot is white. As explained earlier, you will require an image which is twice as large as your current screen resolution so that it fills the entire Metro Start Screen background with the selected image.
