How to change background color

[Poiponen13]

A help question: how to change background color? The "Change Color" olny lets me change the text, not background color. But how to change background color?

As far as I know, you can't. The CSS spec provides the background-color property, but I don't believe there is any BBCode that makes it available on the forum. (This is probably a good thing, since fooling around with background colors can make text hard to read, and distracts from the actual content of the message.)
