As I recall... Options>>Colors is where you set MS & PS backgrounds, etc. Does AutoCAD still have built-in Help & search? :) |

You didn't say whether you found and fixed it...
In case others have this question, a more complete answer is:
From the menu, select:
Tools>>Options>>Display>>Colors

You are allowed to help & provide a complete answer :)
OK so a little more detail...
after selecting "colors" from the Options menu...
In the left dialogue box column "context" you can select "2d model space" and "sheet/layout"; in second column "interface element" select "uniform background", then in third columen "color" select your desired color.
Phew!

you may have found this if you've been browsing through the "Options" menu - to get rid of the gray that is outside plot limits:
Menu;
Tools>>Options>>Display
Under "Layout Elements", clear the checkmark for "Display Paper background"
