We can view Steam member profile background equipped by clicking on the man icon
this is yours.

Many profile back grounds are based on games we own.

oh okay so is the search engine on the points shop useless if its about a specific colour and stuff?? is it only used to search up games?? or is it just completely useless???

point shop can only search for 2 things:
name of the item
name of the game

there is no other meta data on the items.

community market has one more:
description of the item
ex:
https://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=pink&descriptions=1&category_753_Game%5B%5D=any&category_753_item_class%5B%5D=tag_item_class_3&appid=753

on both you have to hope what you search for is available in TEXT, manually entered by someone describing the image.

what colors an image has is not searchable.

that is literally so weird bcs all i see are games that i need to own to purchase it and they are barely pink idk to be honest i just want some recommendations on brightly coloured backgrounds bcs the points shop only has dull coloured ones

If you ever want to know what points shop items a user has enabled, you can click in the little person icon on their profile next to the Add a Friend and Award button.
