I don't think you can affect the paper color.
You can, however, create a rectangle or graphic frame the same size as

same effect. This frame would be on the master page and be a new
layer, under your text containers.

Hi Joliet,
To achieve what you desire, here is the trick.
Go to the Master Page and Add a rectangle of the size of your page
with the desired colour and align it behind any text blocks. Now
return back to the Body Pages, and VOILA there you are with the
background colour for your FM document.
Vijay,

something other than white on your screen, you can modify the Windows
Desktop settings to make the paper color be anything you like.
Personally, I have mine set to be off-white. This helps me spot text
boxes that I need to replace

Fred,
Correct. If you want to color the entire page, a background rectangle is
the way to go.

Actually, neither my first reply nor anyone else's was 100% complete.
If you want to do paper color, you need to start with the background
rectangle to color the margins. Then you also need to select and fill
the text containers with the same color.
Otherwise you end up with a picture frame
How do you change the paper colour? By changing the paper in the printer.

Except for the suggestion changing windows settings, all the artifices to
change the background colour have the same danger. If you don't set it up
with a colour that is set to not print, you'll end up with
