Evernote, the widely used note taking service and application, doesn’t let you change the background color of notes with default settings. Those of you use Evernote for a considerable amount of time every day might be interested in changing the default white background.

The default white background isn’t easy to work with for a long time, especially during the night or under low light conditions. An option to change the default white background would have been awesome.

If you are waiting for Evernote Corporation to include an option to change the default background color of notes, we have good news for you. No, Evernote has updated the program yet to include this feature, but there is an online tool called ENML Editor, which can be used to customize notes in Evernote by changing background color of notes or settings an image as background for your notes.

In this guide, we will show how you can use ENML Editor to change the default background color of notes in Evernote.

Step 7: Now, you can customize the note by editing the HTML code. However, in this guide, we will only change the default background color of the selected note.

Step 8: Look for the line that begins with the code <en-note style=. At the end of that line before the greater than sign (>) and  ” paste the following code to change the color:

background-color:#cccccc; Change Evernote Background Color Step5

 

As you likely know, in the above code, “cccccc” refers to the background color. If you want to set your color, please visit this page of HTML Color Picker, choose a color, and then use the resulting HTML color code in the above line.

And if you prefer to use an image as background for your note, simply use the following code:

background-image:url(‘yourURL’);

Step 9: Once you’re done with your customization, simply click Save to Evernote button to save your customized note.

Step 10: Switch to your desktop client of Evernote and click the Sync button (F9 hotkey, in Windows) to update the note with newly added background color or image.

    The URL you use has to be the internal Note Link, not the external shared URL, which didn’t work for me

    I’m not seeing the “<en-note style=" line into which I paste the code. Any thoughts?

    I like this a lot. Is there a way to do this for every new note? For example, is there a template file we can update so that all future notes have the default background?

    Hi All,

    I found there is a much easier way to create notes with a background color. Just create a table with 1 row and 1 column and start typing in it. Hope this helps those wanting the light yellowish background for your notes in evernote :)

    This is a great tip. It allowed me to solve a different problem. Embedding data into Evernote which is updated live is not easy. However if you use the img tag in enml you will always get the current image. I wanted to embed a Gliffy into Evernote and this has an image export option. Using

    Gives me an always up to date image in Evernote
