Hi
I current cannot change the background colour of the desktop when a centered image is used. Therefore I'd like to try deleting my desktop settings and restart. Yet, I cannot find the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist. Is this maybe new under macOS Sierra or is there any other corresponding file that I can delete to reset the desktop settings and restart?
Thanks
Same for me, initially - but looked at the date last modified (April 2015) which puts it back in the Yosemite period!
So, thought I would see if it makes any difference if it was deleted - and it doesn't, can still change desktop pictures and use coloured backgrounds as before - plus a new one has not been created, so on the face of it, it doesn't appear to be needed by the OS anymore (unless another plist is hiding elsewhere!).

Concur - just doubled checked and changed Desktop again (but this time with a Reboot), still all ok with no new plist appearing.

Could have fooled me…
You must be using a different model that's why in your computer desktop plist is shown , as I have observed , the plist for desktop in some Mac computers exist and in some do not .
You can read the article : macOS Sierra: Give your desktop a custom look

Mine was modified May 1st, 2017. Although it may not have anything to do with changing the desktop since I haven't changed mine since before then.
Cannot find com.apple.desktop.plist
