Change Image Background Colour
Something that may irritate many Magento developers is the way that product images on both the product list and product view pages show white backgrounds when the image doesn’t fit the standard ratio. Rather than there being a simple way to change this in the configuration area, it’s up to us to find it by once again digging deep into the lower echelons of Magento’s core code. This time you need to open the file at the following path, *deep breath* :
app > code > core > Mage > Catalog > Model > Product > Image.php
There’s a line of code in there which is fairly self-explanatory:
protected $_backgroundColor = array(255, 255, 255);
The nine-digit RGB code determines which colour is shown by default in the product image backgrounds, and 255, 255, 255 is simply white, or #FFF. Using the eyedropper tool in a program like Photoshop is a good way of getting the RGB code for the colour that you require. Simply replace the numbers with the ones you require and upload. Job Done.
