I used to read some blog and did some research on changing the background of an iframe. The conclusion is that, iframe is a container, you can change the container background color but not the the background color of the html page in the container, which means no for your request, you can't change the background color of the power bi page in the iframe.

 

There seems some Javascript tricks that can manipulate the page CSS stype in the iframe only if the page is from the same domain of the main page containing iframe. However Power BI report pages are surely not from the same domain of your web application.
