Restore Default Background Color on Mac

How do you change the desktop background color back to its default? I accidently changed it and didn't save it. Is there anyway to import the exact color again. (This is the color that is located near the settings bar specifying the background's size such as Fit to Screen, Fill screen, etc.) I want to change the color back to what it was by default but there doesn't seem to be a color choice for it. Is there any sort of reference or file to download to change the color back.

Um, I meant that background color for the background, not the background image. The color is in that screen but I don't know how to change the color back to the first default color.

The default background is a picture of a galaxy. You can set any color you want in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop > Solid Colors. But there is no "default" color.
