If it's possible, how do you give the artboard a background color? Clicking on the artboard hides the "Styles" tab.
Is there a way to style artboards?

      Artboards can't carry styles right now.
The easiest workaround is to make a self-directed box that's the same size as the artboard (0 spacing all around) and give that a background color. You can lock that layer (L key) and keep it at the top of the tree so it's behind all of your other elements.
