Open Instagram Stories and upload any photo. Tap the three dots, then “Draw.” Pick a color from the bottom row. Now press and hold anywhere on the screen. After a second, the whole background turns that color. This is the fastest way if you just want a plain, clean background.

If you don’t need a photo, go to Stories and tap the “Aa” (Create) mode. You’ll see a color button on the side. Tap it to switch between solid and gradient backgrounds. This option is built for text posts, so it feels smoother and more polished than drawing manually.

Upload a photo first. Then go to Draw, pick a color, and press and hold to cover everything. After that, choose the eraser tool. Erase small parts to reveal the image underneath. This works well if you want a teaser-style story or something more creative.

When you open the Draw tool, don’t just pick preset colors. Press and hold on any color to open the full gradient slider. You can choose very specific shades this way. It helps if you’re matching a brand color or trying to keep your Stories consistent.

Add a photo, then use the sticker tool to add another image or cutout. After that, go to Draw and fill the background with a color. Move your sticker or subject on top. This gives a layered look. Many people use this to create collage-style Stories quickly.
