Tips & Warnings
To use browser-safe colors (the 216 colors that are visible on all browsers and all platforms), make sure the browser-safe colors eyedropper is checked.
Make sure that the text of your page is visible against the background. Subtle colors are usually thought more professional.
To use the same background color and other settings on more than one Web page, create a template. See "How to Create a Template for a Web Page With Dreamweaver" in the Related eHows section.
Some older browsers ignore background color tags, so be sure the text or images are still visible against a white background.

on 7/6/2007 It is also possible to set a background color using a CSS rule like
body {background: #somecolor;}
