Changing the background color and pattern is an easy way to brand and style your email. If your background pattern is transparent, your background color shows too, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find one you really like!
Note: The outer background isn't always displayed when viewing your email on a mobile device. Make sure to preview the mobile view of your email to make sure it has the branding you intend.
The color of your email's background can be changed to match your branding and can help make the main content in your email really pop.
