I suppose you mean you changed the setting that governs the paper colour? If you do that, all white objects will take on the background colour, because in Illustrator 'paper' means 'no ink'.
In order to work with a coloured background, don't change the paper colour. Just draw a large rectangle with a fill in your desired colour, send it to the very back of your layer stack and lock it.

Is there a way to change the colour of this gray area? I would like it to be white. I like to use this area as a mood board, so it helps if I am working with the same background colour.

You can change it in the settings:
Cmd + K (

+ k
in windows ) and in there the User interface

Another alternative where you can switch in and out of it being white or grey (e.g. if you want to focus on your work, then focus on the mood board items around it):
Turn on Overprint Preview (
View > Overprint Preview
). This turns the background white - then, it reverts to the default when you turn it off. Slightly more convenient for toggling than preferences.
Overprint Preview is also used if you have overprinting settings and you want to preview them, but if you're using overprinting, you probably already know about that.. If you've not set anything to overprint, it makes for a handy way to easy switch in and out of having a white background.

Also if you find the periphery suddenly goes white and

isn't the culprit, check View > Show Artboards

Try to 'Hide Artboards'. Your artboards won't disappear but you won't be disturbed by their edges and the background will be white. It's in the 'View' menu between 'Hide Edges' and 'Show Print Tiling'.

Sometimes the separations preview can affect the background also Window>Separations Preview. Turn on and off the check box. It's actually great way of checking your artwork for spot colours etc as well.

Try (ctrl + shift + H) it turns everything outside the artboard white. It worked with me in illustrator cs6 and cc.

It is practically impossible to edit a white illustration on the default white artboard background.
Hiding the artboard makes the whole work area receive the artboard's white color.
Is there a way to change the color of the artboard in Illustrator CC?

The easiest way to see white artwork in Illustrator is by opening the View Menu and selecting Show Transparency Grid. This gives your white artwork something to contrast with. You can adjust the color of the grid by going to File -> Document Setup.

You can 'tweak' the artboard color by this way:
Select File->Document Setup..
On the popup window you will have Transparency sub-menu:
Choose the upper color (I set it to rose) and Mark 'Simulate Colored Paper' -
You will get this image -
There is no any other layers except of text ones..

There's no simple way that I know of.
You can, however, create a rectangle of the same dimensions as the artboard, change its colour to one that works better, move it to the back (Command/Control+Shift+[) - or even to a lower layer and make the layer a template layer, so that it isn't included in the export.
It's not a perfect solution, I know, but it works for me.

The short answer is no, you can't, but there is a reason for that which becomes apparent the moment you look at a CMYK 'white' swatch. It's 0% everything: no ink.
White, to Illustrator, is not a color or a mixture of colors, it is an absence of ink. Even if you're working with an RGB document, that's still the way Illustrator thinks about color: white = absence.
When setting a layout to be printed with white pigment, such as for screen printing on clothing, or product labels that are printed directly onto glass or plastic, the artwork is usually submitted as black or a faux spot color with instructions to print using white. It's similar to the way that spot varnish is specified on a layout. The important thing is that it will separate on its own plate, not what color it appears to be on the screen.
That's why ilan's solution won't work for you. If you simulate colored paper, then anything white will still disappear, because that's how Illustrator shows you that the paper will show through -- there's no pigment.
Your two solutions are to put a colored rectangle on a non-printing layer beneath your artwork, or temporarily change all your white fills or strokes to something visible for editing purposes, then change it back when you're ready to save.

I think the best solution to work with white artwork/artwork that doesn't contrast well is to create a separate layer and add a fill.
Then double-click the layer in the Layers Panel and uncheck the 'Print' checkbox. This allows you to edit the artwork whenever you need and that layer will NEVER print.
You can place it in another document in any Adobe software and it will not show layers with print unchecked.

Just create a box the size you need in pixels the color you want in Illustrator and put it behind your logo and save that and you should get what you need.
CarsonG GCarsonG G
Step-1': First create your art-board and set the height width and resolution according to your requirements.
Step-2then go to FIle > then Click Document setup
Step-3
Check the button Simulate Colored Paper
and then click on the color from the color chart ( basic color section or color table section) to choose your desired art background color
Then hit ok Then again ok
Here you go

In Visio, the drawing page size and printer paper size are set separately. In many diagram templates, the drawing page size expands automatically if you extend the diagram past the current edge of the page. However, you can specify a particular page size if you prefer. If you want to control these settings manually, you can set a drawing page size that is the same as, larger than, smaller than, or has a different orientation from the printer paper.
