How to change the background color on Google Docs web and mobile


Even though we mostly type with black ink on white paper or background, requirements may be different sometimes. In several situations, we may need to write on a colored background, and if you are one Google Docs, I am here with how to change the background color on Google Docs mobile, as well as the web version. It is almost a one-click process and I will discuss the same here.

So, without any further delay, let’s get started with how you can change the background color on Google Docs, for both one and all the future documents.

How to put a background color on Google Docs?

Open the preferred document on Google Docs or a new one. Click on the ‘File’ menu, and then click on the ‘Page setup’ option.


Next, click on the drop-down menu just below the ‘Page color’ caption, and select the preferred color. After that, click on ‘OK’. If you want to use the same background color for the upcoming documents, click on the ‘Save as default’ option, before clicking ‘OK’.


The background color is hence changed.


Now, you are ready to go. Just a piece of gentle advice, try to use a light background color, if you are writing in black and make sure, your printer has enough ink to print a document with the preferred background color.

However, if you want to change the background color on google docs mobile, with the Google Docs mobile app, the process is exactly the same. You just need to tap on the triple-dot menu instead of the ‘File’ menu on Google Docs web.

So, that was all about, how you can change the page background color on Google Docs. Do you have any questions? Feel free to comment on the same below.
