Colour of the artboard (AD)

[Przemysław]

I have some design to be done in white. How do I change colour of the artboard? I was looking for half an hour and can't find it.
I know, I can add a coloured layer beneath everything, but I would prefer to do it without adding the extra layer.

I’d love to be proved wrong, but I think that’s the only way at the moment.

[Przemysław]

Oh well, it will do for a moment.

Can it be added to feature request, please?

Draw an artboard with the artboard tool, and click a color on the color wheel.

You can also fill the Artboard with a gradient or even a tiled bitmap using the Fill Tool.

That’s still an extra layer, isn’t it? 

[walt.farrell]

No extra layer with the approach I suggested. Not sure about toltec's.

My bad. I’d forgotten that this thread is specifically about artboards, so the required ‘extra’ artboard layer is there already!

Well, the OP did want to colour the Artboard.

Either clicking on a colour or using a gradient fill simply colours the Artboard, it adds no extra layers.

Wether it´s a new document established as Arboard or one drawn by Artboard tool it says it´s a rectangle so choose your color and done:
