Background color won't export

[harveyrabbit75]

I'm new to Adobe Illustrator. I am trying to export my project and the background won't export. I changed the color of the artboard using these instructions:

How to Change the Background Color in Adobe Illustrator: 14 Steps

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Harvey,

The simulated paper colour is just that, a way to see how the artwork will look on coloured paper.

It forms no part of the artwork.

If you wish to have a colour in the background as part of the actual artwork, you will have to create a path (rectangle or whatever) and fill it with the desired colour.
