The changes on the registry are not applied immediately.
A better alternative would be to use the windows function SetSysColors.

Then set you color. The values are in RGB so for example "255 0 0" would be red.

You can change the desktop background for a user in the registry.
First remove the wallpaper, if there is one:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop" /v WallPaper /t REG_SZ /d " " /f
Then set you color. The values are in RGB so for example "255 0 0" would be red.
