Alternatively, you can download the Tekla Structures Background Color Selector application to check what RBG values produce which results.

Once you have found the correct RGB code for the color, go to Tools > Options > Advanced Options... > Model view and copy the resulting color definition to the advanced options XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR1, XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR2, XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR3, and XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR4.
