ColorBackground

require(["esri/webscene/background/ColorBackground"], function(ColorBackground) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/webscene/background/ColorBackground
Inheritance: ColorBackground Background Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.8

This type of Background allows to set a Color as the background of a SceneView. The view environment stars and atmosphere will show on top of the background when enabled. To have a clear background color only, make sure to set both the view.environment.starsEnabled and view.environment.atmosphereEnabled properties to false.

The default for ColorBackground is a fully opaque, black color. The example below shows how to change this:

background-color

const view = new SceneView({
  container: "view",
  map: map,
  environment: {
    background: {
      type: "color",
      color: [255, 252, 244, 1]
    },
    starsEnabled: false,
    atmosphereEnabled: false
  }
});

Set alphaCompositingEnabled to true when you want to make the SceneView background partially or fully transparent and blend with the rest of the webpage.

const view = new SceneView({
  container: "view",
  map: map,
  alphaCompositingEnabled: true,
  environment: {
    background: {
      type: "color",
      color: [255, 252, 244, 0.4]
    },
    starsEnabled: false,
    atmosphereEnabled: false
  }
});
