Pretty sure you can change the page colour. Look in the page settings.
Alternatively, make a new layer, draw a rectangle in your colour, lock it and
then draw on a layer above that.
I believe it's File->Document Properties, then on the 'Page' tab click on the background and set the colour.
I don't think this will stick as the default the next time you run Inkscape, but maybe there's a config setting that will make it stick as default?
