How can I change the artboard to white?

[brushwipe]

Hi,  I am designing a website in Photoshop.  I have created 3 artboards on the screen: a main artboard to fit a1200px desktop screen then a tablet and a mobile size artboard alongside. There appears to be a gray cast over my #1 artboard while the other two remain white.  I have looked everywhere to see what would account for this but so far I cannot find a cause.  I could insert a white layer to cover the artboard but I don't want to add unnecessary layers.

Suggestions on how I might restore the main artboard to white much appreciated, please.

Hi

I could be completely wrong here mainly because I don't use artboards in PS, but did you try selecting properties from the Window menu and changing the background color of the artboard from there

Thanks for all the help.

Without seeing a screenshot, I'd guess that when you created the new document with an artboard, a new layer is added to Artboard 1 with a color determined by the settings in the New Document dlalog box.

The additional artboards don't get that layer. You can just delete it.

If that isn't it, please share a screen shot.

Thank you for your help.  I attach a screen shot of a portfolio in progress.  You can see the other artboards have a white base while the panel of logos on the main board is a separate layer colored white.

I fixed it!  Right click > Levels > lighter.  Crazy.
