How to Set Background Color of a JFrame in Java

It is easy to set Background color of a JFrame in java. But still many people cannot do it (me too was once like this). Most such people may have tried this java code to set java JFrame background color: setBackground(Color.BLACK);. But this won't work. Instead, you should set the background color of the ContentPane of the JFrame. So, use the following code to set Background color of Frame in your Java Application.

getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLACK);

or


getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(34,172,176));

Keep in mind that you have to import java.awt.Color; You can use the first one if you don't know RGB values of the desired color. Most common colors are defined as constants in Font class. If you know the RGB color values for your desired color, you can use the second example.
