[Tex/LaTex] How to change Beamer note page background color

Question

I understand that in beamer environment I can have some presenter's notes by adding

\setbeameroption{show notes} 

and put all my notes in \note{blah blah ...}. It will give me a note page with grey background and a header. I want to know if I can change the background color, e.g. to white?

Answer 1

To add to @TorbjornT.'s answer, the Beamer color template defines three elements for specifying colors of the note page: note page, note title, and note date, where

• note page defines the background and foreground colors of the note page
• note title defines the colors for the "title bar" of the note page
• note date defines the colors for the date entry

The default settings are

\setbeamercolor{note page}{bg=white!90!black, fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{note title}{bg=white!80!black, fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{note date}{parent=note title}

To change the background colors, simply redefine the colors of those elements.

MWE

\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeameroption{show notes}

\setbeamercolor{note page}{bg=green}
\setbeamercolor{note title}{bg=red}
\setbeamercolor{note date}{fg=yellow}

\begin{document}
\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\begin{frame}{frame title}
A frame.
\note{This is a note for presenter.}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Output (of note page)
