VisAD Tutorial shows you in section 4.14 how to change the display's
background color.

First do

DisplayRenderer dRenderer = display.getDisplayRenderer();

then do

float[] backColor = colorToFloats(Color.lightGray);
dRenderer.setBackgroundColor(backColor[0], backColor[1],backColor[2]);

Please see the whole section for more details:
 http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/tutorial/s4/Section4.html#section4_14

However, when using the SpreadSheet, you'll have to know where the
display is. I'm not sure how to get the display from a SpreadSheet cell
but I believe Curtis can show you the way.

Cheers,

Ugo
