Unable to parse background colors

[retrocausal]

Error: Unable to parse color from object: {"model":"rgb","color":[255,255,255],"valpha":1}

What does the config specify:

const bgcolor = color({
  r: 255,
  g: 255,
  b: 255,
  alpha: 0
});
//Somewhere in the pipeline
//common config parameters
{
      min: true,
      flatten: true,
      background: bgcolor
}

The above error, is regardless of specifying the alpha channel while defining a color.
I am unsure if this is because of sharp though

Oh I figured, I should not be using color, but only specify the color model

doing

{
background:{r:255,b:255,g:255,alpha:0}
}

doesn't throw an error anymore. However, the alpha just doesn't work.
