  I want the background behind the slideshow to be white, like the rest of the block, but on the net it becomes grey… How can I fix this?

  The default background color for the Slideshow block is grey. This is what it will remain as your site is on the Free plan.

  The slideshow block and images within are dynamically loaded, which means they scale to fit the size of the window you are viewing the post within.

  The size of the editor view is smaller than viewing the actual page on your site. Because the editor view is smaller, the images take up more space and the grey background does not appear there. Once you preview the post on your site, the view is larger, so you then see the grey background of the slideshow block.

  It is possible to override this and set it to another color, or transparent. This can be done with CSS, which we can help you with. To use CSS, you would need to consider upgrading your site to the Premium plan: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
