It's not clear how you created the master page background color. If
you created a page-size colored rectangle not in an anchored frame,
and pasted it on top of the page, while it's selected, try Graphics >
Send to Back, to position it below the text frames for header, footer,
and main-flow text frame. The PDF should print correctly
