# Background

This section describes how to change the background of a chart.

## Background Fill

To change the colour of the chart background, simply provide a colour string value for the `background.fill` property.

```js
{
    background: {
        fill: 'rgb(63, 127, 255)',
    },
}
```

#### Background Fill

```ts
// Angular entry point file
import '@angular/compiler';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);
```
