Go to :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences`, then navigate to :menuselection:`General --> Editors --> Text Editors`. In the panel on the right, from the :guilabel:`Appearance color options` list select **Background color**, then use the color picker to choose the desired color (the **System default** checkbox must be unchecked).
