Graph.figure.plot_bgcolor not updated with callback

Describe your context My environment

dash                          1.8.0
dash-core-components          1.7.0
dash-html-components          1.0.2
dash-renderer                 1.2.3
dash-table                    4.6.0

My setup

- OS:  Windows 10
- Browser Firefox
- Version 72.0.2 (64-bit)

Describe the bug

Toggling between 2d and 3d scatter does not update plot_bgcolor as expected.

Expected behavior

When I am plotting 3d first, plot_bgcolor is set correctly. After switching to 2d and back to 3d, the plot_bgcolor of the 2d plot persists instead of getting overwritten by the plot_bgcolor of 3d.

Screenshots

Here is some code that replicates the error:

from itertools import product

import dash_core_components as dcc

from dash.dependencies import Input, Output

external_stylesheets = ['https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css']

app = dash.Dash(__name__, external_stylesheets=external_stylesheets)

df = pd.DataFrame(product((1, -1), repeat=3), columns=["x", "y", "z"])
options = [{"value": f"{n}D", "label": f"{n}D"} for n in [2, 3]]
app.layout = html.Div([dcc.Graph(id='hypercube-plot', style={"width": "80vw", "height": "80vh"}),
                       html.Div(className='row',

                                className='three columns')]
             )])

    layout["scene"]=dict(xaxis={'title': {"backgroundcolor": "#262626"}},
                         yaxis={'title': {"backgroundcolor": "#262626"}},

    return {"data": data, "layout": layout}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run_server(debug=True)

I am attaching three screenshots too, where I toggle the dimensions.
