[Tex/LaTex] Change background colour for entire document

Question

I would like to change total document background colour; for example to Yellow:
I have used two packages:

\usepackage{colour}
\usepackage{xcolour}

But I am unable to get my output, is there any solution?

Answer 1

The pagecolor package adds some page colour checking options to that provided by xcolor itself, which may not be necessary:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pagecolor,lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{pagecolor,lipsum}
\begin{document}
\pagecolor{yellow!30!orange}
\lipsum
\end{document}

It automatically loads xcolor if it's not loaded by default.
