Updating the GRUB Background
I used this to update the background from the garish purple to a custom image using Ubuntu 19.10.
First, move an image to /boot/grub. According to the Grub Manual, the background image must end with .png, .tga, .jpg, or .jpeg. Then run update-grub.
For example,
sudo cp /home/user/pictures/new-background.png /boot/grub
sudo update-grub
