   Under the “Background” section, click on your preferred color (e.g., pink background, gray background, yellow background). This will instantly apply the background to your selected block.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Unable to see the color options
   Make sure you’re selecting a block and not the page itself. Color options only appear when a specific block is selected.

2. Background applies to only one block
   Background color in Notion is applied block-by-block. To apply color to a full section, you’ll need to format each block individually or group them with callout blocks.

3. Limited color palette
   Notion currently supports a basic color set. For more design flexibility, consider using callouts, emojis, and toggles creatively.

4. Mistaking text color for background
   Notion separates text color and background. Be sure you're selecting options under “Background” and not “Text.”

5. Color not visible in dark mode
   Some background colors may not appear as clearly in Notion’s dark mode. Preview your page in both light and dark modes to check contrast and visibility.
