[Tex/LaTex] How to change the background color only for the current page

Question

How can I change the background color only for the current page? I found that I can change the color with \pagecolor{color} but that unfortunately changes the color for all pages after this command. Any ideas how to limit this command only to the current page?

Answer 1

You could use the \afterpage command from the afterpage package to change the color back.

Here's an example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% for auto generating text
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-12]
\pagecolor{yellow}\afterpage{\nopagecolor}
\lipsum[22-30]
\end{document}
