Set Page Background Colour in Documents

Set Page Background Colour lets you apply a solid background colour to any page in a QuoteCloud document so your quotes, proposals and other documents look more polished and on‑brand.

It changes only the page background (not the content) and is intended to improve presentation when using QuoteCloud as your sales quoting software or sales proposal software.

Yes. You can apply a custom background colour to any page in a QuoteCloud document.

The only exception is embedded PDFs: the embedded file keeps its own background and cannot be overridden by the editor’s page background setting.

Open the document in the QuoteCloud editor, navigate to the page you want to style, then open the page/background settings. Choose or enter the colour (hex, RGB or pick from the palette), apply the change and save.

Preview the document after saving to confirm the background displays correctly before sending or exporting your quote or proposal.

Yes. Page background colours are compatible with QuoteCloud templates and other styling—applying a background won’t remove or break template formatting and layout.

This makes it easy to use branded backgrounds across documents created from template designs in your quote software or proposal software workflows.

Background colours are generally preserved when you export to PDF and when viewing the document in most PDF viewers.

However, printed output can depend on PDF viewer and printer settings (for example some printers have an option to omit background printing to save ink). Always preview the exported PDF and check print settings before final distribution.

Yes. You can apply different colours to individual pages so cover pages, pricing pages and summary pages can each have their own background to improve hierarchy and readability.

This flexibility helps create standout pages within the same document when using QuoteCloud as your quote software or proposal software.

QuoteCloud’s page background feature supports solid colour backgrounds (entered via hex, RGB or the palette).

If you need image or patterned backgrounds consider adding them to the document content area or as part of a template background image—note that embedded PDFs still retain their native backgrounds and may not accept editor overlays.

Adding background colours reinforces brand identity, improves visual hierarchy and makes documents feel more professional—especially for cover pages, pricing tables and executive summaries.

For teams using QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software, backgrounds help create cohesive, branded documents that communicate value more clearly and can improve client perception and conversion.
