You are on the Verizon's clone firmware that bears as much resemblance to stock Samsung firmware as a camel does to a horse!

I would recommend installing the excellent Textra SMS, free from the Play Store. It is fully compatible and configurable.

I'm using TEXTRA now. I don't see a way to change the background color. I can change the bubble color, but not the background. Did I miss something?

Errr... by selecting Dark Mode or Black, in Textra > Settings > Customize Look > Dark Mode

Just to be clear for others reading, I have a Verizon S5 (5.0) and those settings certainly DO exist on my phone. I don't know why they wouldn't be on your phone.
