I would like to ask is it there any way to change the background color of the typedinput, possible to request a feature about this?

You need to look in your browser's dev tools to see the actual HTML that typedInput's use - this is created dynamically. As in the following example where the DIV with the class "red-ui-typedInput-container" wraps the actual field and the input tag above it has been hidden by Node-RED.

That should help you get the CSS Selector - and don't forget that the Elements display in the browser dev tools will let you copy a CSS Selector.
