One easy way to do it is to use the Oxwall demo page.

Go to the bottom, and click "Mobile Version". This will display the mobile version on you desktop. You can then use inspect element to find the element to change in the mobile css in the "mobile" folder inside your theme folder.
For example. The gray background you mentioned is the html, body element.
You just have to remember that this needs to be changed in the css file inside the "Mobile" folder, and not the main base css file that is in the root of the theme folder.
You will also need to set dev mode at the bottom of the config.php file to true after you make your changes, go to your site, and refresh any page, then go back and set dev mod back to false.
One other thing to remember is that your changes will be wiped out on a theme update since updates replace all files; not just the changes that were made.
