Change background color of editor...

If you are not using the Kama skin, you may not be able to.
However, have you tried the uiColor setting? What have you tried?

Ok its not the official way to do it but it works! when you start the instance of CKEDITOR simply add before the end </script> tag

CKEDITORBackGround = '#7D001D';
setTimeout("document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.document.body.style.backgroundColor = '"+CKEDITORBackGround+"'", 500)

changing CKEDITORBackGround var to the colour code you desire.

Oh, you mean the entry area. Yeah, that requires you to change the styles for the body tag within the editor iframe... If I remember correctly, CK loads a stylesheet for that iframe, so you should be able to just edit that CSS file. Otherwise you might have to do it manually as lloydo did, or make it add a stylesheet and create one.

CKEDITOR.replace( 'pagecontent',
{
contentsCss : 'http://www.yoursite.com/css/style.css'
});

I have it working like this, in this css file have some basic styles like background-color, font-family and color etc set up for the body.
