:highlight Normal guibg=#ccffff

To run it always with that background, add the above line to your vimrc.

To do it once, run either
gvim --cmd "hi Normal guibg=#ccffff"
or
gvim -c "hi Normal guibg=#ccffff"

see
:help hl-Normal
:help highlight-guibg
:help --cmd
:help -c

Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks Tony and Chainsaw. This is what I needed, and I put it in my
menu.

Here is another way triggered after loading a/any color scheme.

Say you want this to happen when you change to dracula colorcsheme:

augroup ColorschemeTweak
autocmd!
autocmd ColorScheme dracula highlight Normal guibg=#ccffff
augroup END

Or for any colorscheme:

augroup ColorschemeTweak
autocmd!
autocmd ColorScheme * highlight Normal guibg=#ccffff
augroup END
