Override createFigure() in your DiagramEditPart. By calling
super.createFigure() you get a reference to the IFigure. You can then set
the background colour directly for this figure. You also need to set it to
be opaque.

protected IFigure createFigure() {
IFigure fig = super.createFigure();
fig.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.green);
fig.setOpaque(true);
return fig;
}

This does indeed change the colour of the canvas, but also hides the
grid. Unless the grid is set to 'Grid in front', but then it is above
all other objects.

How to change the background color and have the grid appear below the
object, but above the canvas?

Thanks,
Jelle.
