Angela,
This little applet demonstrates changing the background color from skycolor to white and back.

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Background extends Applet
{
    Color bkgrndColor;
    Button change;
    public void init()
    {
        bkgrndColor = Color.cyan;
        setBackground(bkgrndColor);
        change = new Button("Change background color");
        change.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
                if(bkgrndColor == Color.cyan)
                {
                    bkgrndColor = Color.white;
                }
                else
                {
                    bkgrndColor = Color.cyan;
                }
                setBackground(bkgrndColor);
                repaint();
            }
        });
        add(change);
    }
}

Hope this helps.

OR

In the paint() method you can use like this
<pre>
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
setbackground(Color.anycolor);
}
</pre>
Where anycolor can be white,red,blue etc.
I hope this will be helful too.

Usman
