In OneNote for Mac, you can change the background color or style of any page in your notebook — either for aesthetic purposes or to make your notes easier to read.
Apply a color to the background of the current page
Do the following:
-
Select the page whose color you want to change.
-
Using the OneNote Ribbon, on the View tab, click Paper Color, and then click the background color you want to apply to the current page.
Tip: To distinguish a particular color from a similar one, rest the mouse pointer over a color square until its name appears in a tooltip.
If you change your mind and you want to apply a different background color to the same page, repeat the previous step with a different selection.
Tip: To apply ruled or grid lines to a page, on the View tab, click Paper Styles.
Remove the background color from the current page
Do the following:
-
Using the OneNote Ribbon, on the View tab, click Paper Color > No Color.
