@null means no background at all (View.getBackground() returns null).
It means you want to remove the background.

If you set android:windowBackground to null then you're not going to get default colour from parent theme. You're actually overriding this to be null, which means nothing's going to be painted as your window background. If your layouts don't cover the window completely with their own backgrounds then you're going to see random artifacts.

In other words Avoid Null Window Backgrounds.

It uses 

<color name="material_grey_50">#fffafafa</color>

as described in the theme Platform.AppCompat.Light. This value is for appcompat-v7:23.4.0 and might differ on other versions.
