Legacy GM [SOLVED] Random Background Blend

[Wuzzems]

backgroundcolor[0] = background_blend[0] = c_white;
backgroundcolor[1] = background_blend[0] = c_red;
backgroundcolor[2] = background_blend[0] = c_orange;
backgroundcolor[3] = background_blend[0] = c_yellow;
backgroundcolor[4] = background_blend[0] = c_green;
backgroundcolor[5] = background_blend[0] = c_blue;
backgroundcolor[6] = background_blend[0] = $4B0082;
backgroundcolor[7] = background_blend[0] = $7F00FF;


color = irandom(7);

background_blend[0] = backgroundcolor[color];

I have this code within my room creation code and I feel like whatever is wrong is staring me in the face. The game starts up but each time it just gives me a black background.

background_blend[0] = choose(c_white,c_red,c_orange,c_yellow,c_green,c_blue,$480082,$7F00FF);

Thank you. It works. Although I would like to know why my method didn't work. Is it just because Background_blend doesn't accept that kind of answer?
