Select a Form Background Color
Use the Form Editor (accessed from within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator) to select a background color for the form.
Note: This topic describes defining a background color on a form with a
universal theme. If you are editing a form with a classic theme, use this link

Good to Know:
- If you are using dashboard themes, use a theme association color for the form background (example: Form Background). You can select a Web color, or create a custom color; however, if you use a non-theme color, the background will not change to another theme color when you apply a different theme.
- Theme colors are defined as part of a theme's definition. Use the Theme Manager to create a theme.
- Colors can be solid or transparent only, gradients can not be applied.
- State override (conditional) colors can not be applied to a form background.
