Background color of disabled Spinner

I'm trying to set the background color of the Spinner, if disabled.

Here is what I tried in my kv-file:

<MySpinner@Spinner>:
    background_normal: ''
    background_disabled_normal: ''
    disabled_color: (0, 0, 0, 1)
    color: (0, 0, 0, 1)
    background_disabled_color: (1,1,1,1)
    background_color: (0.62,0.67,0.72,1)

Obviously the background_disabled_color is not the right parameter. But what should I use instead?

It inherits from Button, therefore if it's not in the spinner.py file, it'll be in button.py

You can see that Button uses images for the background and with background_color it's only tinted, yet there's no background_disabled_color (afaik). The background works like this - you set background_color and if the widget is disabled, it tints the default background image for disabled (which is little bit darker):

Button:
    text: 'jump'
    disabled: True
    # background_disabled_normal: ''  # allow to see the behavior w/o default disabled bg
    background_color: (1,0,0,1)

To achieve another color for disabled widget than the default background_color you need to change the background_color when the Button is disabled (in your case Spinner):

from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.base import runTouchApp
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
Builder.load_string('''
<Test>:
    Spinner:
        id: special
        values: [str(i) for i in range(10)]
        size_hint_y: None
        text: 'jump'
        disabled: True
        #background_disabled_normal: ''
        background_color: (1,0,0,1) if not self.disabled else (0,1,0,1)
    Button:
        on_release: special.disabled = not special.disabled
''')
class Test(BoxLayout): pass
runTouchApp(Test())

Note that this won't work for the DropDown-like children, because those use different class, so to change them you'll need to change properties of that class.
