Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.778
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1121.0

Steps to reproduce

Start Terminal and observe the short gray-to-default-profile-background-color flicker before the shell is loaded. Close Terminal and observe the same in reverse.

Expected behavior

There should be no flickering. When starting, the background of the "empty" shell area should be the same color as the default profile. When closing, the shell area should use the background color of the currently active profile/shell.

Actual behavior

The "empty" shell area is always gray, which means it transitions very quickly from gray to (typically) black when the default profile shell is displayed. Similarly when closing Terminal.
