Microsoft Word Change Color Of Page

In Word, you can give documents a background colour. It means that you change the default white to any other colour, or with a fill effect even. To do this, go to the Page Layout ribbon tab and choose Page Color. From there, you pick the options you want.

However, this method will make all of your pages have that colour settings. If you want to make just one single page in a colour in Word, you are out of luck. Luckily, there is an alternative available. This can be useful to for example give the first page in Word a background colour.

To change page color in Word, go to the Design tab (or Page Layout for Word 2010) and click Page Color in the Page Background group. From the palette of colors that appears, click to choose the color you wish to add to the pages. If you can’t find the color you want, click on More Colors. 1 Click the Page Color command button on the Page Layout tab's Page Background group. A menu full of colors opens, some based on the document theme and some based on standard colors. 2 Choose a color from the Page Color menu.

Click on the Page Color button; Click on a color to set your page background color. If you would like to choose a standard color from the color wheel or create a custom color, click on the More Colors button; Microsoft® Word 2016 for Mac: Launch Microsoft® Word; On the Ribbon, click on the Design tab; Locate the Page Background group.
