    What is the purpose of your request?

     

    Are you using many artboards with different dimensions and want a coloured rectangle on them that matches their dimensions?

     

    If so, that may be done with an action or a script.

     

    Otherwise there is no "Artboard Colour" in Illustrator similar to Photoshop's background contents. Illustrator is a different mole.

    Yup. Hence my IDEA to have this implemented into the software. And thanks for your "help" hahahaha I already know there is no bg colour in AI. What do you think the purpose of my request is?

    I don't know the purpose of your request and I'm not going to guess.

     

    As mentioned, if you just need coloured rectangles you can script it (or use one of the existing scripts, for example by Sergey and Sergey).
