While in the Rev IDE, the answer dialog is not part of your stack file
so maintains it's usual appearance. When it is built into your app, it
becomes a sub-stack of your mainStack and inherits it's
characteristics.

If your mainStack is a single card, the easiest way is to set the
card's backgroundColor and leave the stack's backgroundColor empty, so
there is nothing to inherit. If that doesn't suit, you can set the
answer dialog's color directly before you use it.
