You can edit the HTML email layout and define the colour you want.

Sorry Jenny where do i find it, I have no idea at present where to change the colour and what to for white

Chris - just done mine, in the design tab (view next to orders) choose customer email, then edit the code - there are various instances of palette1 / 2 bg etc, I simply change my palette 1 in there to a much better palette 2 but you can replace with colour codes like ffffff for white etc...

as always backup first!

Simplest way to change the central part of the email to a white background is to open the HTML Email Layout in the Library (Layouts tab, ) and change

<td style="background: <actinic:variable name="Palette1" />">

to

<td style="background: white">

Then find the following:

<table cellspacing="20" style="padding: 20px; clear: left; overflow: hidden; background: <actinic:variable name="PaletteBG" />;  color: <actinic:variable name="TextColor" />; border: 2px dotted <actinic:variable name="Palette2" />">

and change it to:

<table cellspacing="20" style="padding: 20px; clear: left; overflow: hidden; background: white;  color: <actinic:variable name="TextColor" />; border: 2px dotted <actinic:variable name="Palette2" />

">
