How to change multiple artboard background color?

Does anyone know how to change the background color of multiple artboards at once? I have tons of artboards and the background color is changing. I was wondering if there is a way to change the color all at once, rather than changing the color one artboard at a time.

Thanks!

Ahhhhhh thanks. I figured out that I need to command click each artboard individually in order for me to be able to have the option to change the background color. Previously, I was shift selecting my artboards and the option was not available.

Thank you Dave!

I Think there's no way to change the color of the artboard, cause they are by default transparent, yo beed to add and object or a layer that fills the color

I have just worked this out.
I needed to change all of my artboards from grey to white. 
If you shift and command click on the artboards you can select them and change the background colour in the properties panel.

To change the background in Adobe software:

 1. Open your desired Adobe program (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator).

 2. Import or create the image you want to work with.

3. Select the background layer or the area you want to change.

4. Use the "Selection Tool" (e.g., Magic Wand, Lasso) to isolate the background.

5. Once selected, go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Cut" or "Delete" to remove the background.

6. Alternatively, you can use the "Layer Mask" option to hide the background instead of deleting it.

7. Now, create a new layer or import a new image for your desired background.

8. Place the new background layer behind the main image.

9. Adjust the size and position of the new background as needed.

10. You can further refine the edges of the main image using tools like "Refine Edge" or "Mask Edge".

11. Finally, save your work in the desired format.

Also, I have created and edited all pics in Adobe for my website, If you want to check so click here.
