what is the best practice regarding the `Component` to use to just represent the `background` ?

I understand the in MaterialTheme the `Surface` has a similar goal, but it takes by default the `surfaceColor`. In my case where I want the same practical use but so that the background color is always `backgroundColor` . From looking at usages, it seems only `Scaffold` actually uses this color, but internally still uses a `Surface` and changes the background color.

either:
1 pass a different argument to surface
`Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background,…` 
or 2 Create a composable wrapping surface:

```@Composable fun BackgroundSurface(color: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.background, …) {
  Surface(color = color, …)
}```

ah great, I actually had followed number 2 ! thanks again for all the support here. the experience we are having of migrating our design system to Compose has been extremely good!
