I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Get Started forum.

What Adobe software are you using?  I'll move it to the appropriate forum.

Your Image needs a Background Layer in order for the Canvas extension color to be available.

my canvas color is block

The reason is your document does not have a Background Layer.

You can turn Layer 1 into a Background Layer by going to Layer>New>Background from Layer

Hi, this is not working for me and I already have a background layer. When I select a new color for the canvas eextension, it doesn't apply it. It stays white.

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

Can you post a screenshot so we can the Layers panel and your image?

[Erica5C64]

It should be the latest version. It says Photoshop version 22.0.1 

Computer operating on Windows 10.

Mine wasn't working either with the added locked layer. I ended up saving my file as a .jpg then used that .jpg file instead of the .png, and the canvas color worked fine after that with just the single layer.
