**Effect >Style** for a flexible control over the background color in the 3D viewport.

  * This feature meets the request of custom background color in specific projects, such as rendering composition materials or parallel projection views. **Notes:**

  * **Parameter priority:** This setting will be overridden by the background color set in the Outline mode. Disable the Outline mode to restore the custom background color.

  * This parameter only affects the viewport background and does not change models, environment lighting, or reflections.
