In Illustrator (most recent up to date version), I did a shortcut and accidentally turned my workspace to white. I went to preferences ->user interface ->brightness and changed the color. It changes the interface except for the workspace color, it remains white. However; if I open a new document it does change to the appropriate color. I just don't want to copy and paste all my work to a new document. This happened at work on a PC. When I brought the file home I opened it on a IMAC with the same issue.
Problem solved guys!

Go into User interface in preferences, then go to change canvas color. Sometimes when toggling overprint the canvas color defaults to white. Please note this is not the same as user interface color.

CMD + Shift + H or View > Hide Artboards
All that this feature does is hide all the artboards and makes the background white. It's a useless feature for 99% of people. Go to Edit > Keyboard shortcuts to disable this.

A solution if none of those options work is tho check the resolution of your project if its has been changed to a larger width/height zoom out of your project to see the edges and see if that's the problem. If that's the issue you then go to file new find the resolution of the current project ur working on open new project then close and reopen ur previous file it will go back to normal

I found that control clicking and choosing the usual color solved the issue.

FIXED!
Pressing preview with *whatever* did not end up working for me, so what I ended up doing was exporting as an ai file and opening it again! Worked for me I hope this helps!
