If your window is a JFrame, JDialog or JWindow you can try
Code:
myFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(yourColor)
If it is a Frame of Window you can try
Code:
myRef.setBackground(color)
JOptionPanes take a little more work.

Little explanation on this.

You can do this in this way as well.
Code:
myFrame.setBackground(yourColor)
In this way, when you run the application, background color flashes and gone. That is because the frame made up of mane components involving. That's why we used a "Content Pane" in the hardwired code.
