Changing the Artboard Color - Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

Jacquelin Vanderwood

March 2005

Have you ever wondered how to change the color of the artboard. Let me show you how. Below we have the generic look of Illustrator as it usually appears.

To change it, begin by accessing File and Document Setup or Ctrl+Alt+P.

Select the drop down box.

Change the selection to Transparency.

Click on the top color box.

Change the color.

Now put a check mark by Simulate Paper. Press OK.

Your artboard should now reflect the changes.
