Changing the background color in Adobe Illustrator is a fundamental step in designing a visually appealing and cohesive artwork. The background color sets the canvas upon which all other elements are placed, and it can significantly impact the overall tone and atmosphere of the design.
To change the background color in Illustrator, select the Artboard tool from the Toolbar and click on the artboard to select it. Then, go to the Properties panel (Window > Properties) and locate the Fill section. Click on the colored square next to Fill to open the Color Picker dialog box.
