I am new to CC2017, having used CS5 for years. I use the workspace outside the page layout as "scratch paper", but am finding it very distracting with the gray background. I want the background to be white to be able to see what I am doing.

Since my preference display looks different from Barbara's I will post a similar screenshot here for CC2017:

The screenshot posted by Barbara seems to be from an older version of Illustrator and your's the latest one, however both are the correct way to get the white interface in Illustrator.

The first screen capture was from CC 2015. The screen capture below is from the most current version, CC 2017. It has the same kind of settings.

If you want WHITE instead of BRIGHT, once you click on "Brightness: Light", you can click the radio button for "Canvas Color: White", which is what DesignWright originally requested.
