Hoping someone can help me with a, what I hope is silly question with a simple answer. I've googled for a couple of hours now and I just don't get it and i'm failing to find an answer

All i'm wanting to do is set the background color of the entire page to a specific hex color. I don't want white I would like to set the page color to #FAF8CC to start with, might turn it down a little further

Here is the first few lines of code


my $pdf  = PDF::API2->new(-file => "$SavedAttachment");
$pdf->mediabox(595,842);
my $page = $pdf->page;

my $fnt = $pdf->corefont('Arial',-encode => 'latin1');
my $txt = $page->text;
$txt->textstart;

###### Logo at top center of page
#
my $image_02 = $page->gfx;
my $image_file = $pdf->image_gif("$Logo");
$image_02->image( $image_file, 260,745,72,72 );

###### Add Customer Name and Address
#
$txt->font($fnt, 8);
$txt->translate(25,630);
$txt->fillcolor('black');
$txt->text("$FullCustName");
