In the viewport under render option (below shaded) I can change the color of background but don’t know how to change the color of the object.
The default color is too white for me.
And how to save both?
Thanks
Do you mean under Rhino Options > View > Display Modes > Rendered?
You can either assign a material to a layer in the layer manager or to individual objects in the properties manager:
I am not sure what you mean by that. If you set the background color in the display mode, that should be saved between sessions. If you assign materials to layers, you can save an empty file with custom layers and use that as your start-up template.
Thank you wim.
Sorry, I don’t how to attach the picture.

Thanks again.
What I need is to change background color and the object’s color perhaps similar to R5 and have it as default.
@mydanster, can you please copy&paste the contents of the Help > System Information... in Rhino?

Ah, sorry. I thought you had your bg swatch set to black, but the bg showing up redish. I clearly need a pair of spectacles, I am getting old 
Anyway, I think @wim gave you some instructions you can use to change object colors. Set the default layer to have a material (i.e. plaster with a grey color). Then save that file as a template.
… and use one of these two methods to set your background color:
-
In your template file: go to
Document Settings > Renderand change your backdrop color. Save as template. For this to work reliably, the global option in the display mode must be as factory-default. -
As a global Rhino option: go to
Options > View > Display Modes > Renderedmode and set the background to a color.
@nathanletwory, maybe a bit unfortunate that the same setting is called “backdrop” in one place and “background” in another?
I suppose so, reported RH-42600
OK
Thanks everyone.
