Background color not change TextEditor view – Ios swift

//.........some other views........

       ZStack(alignment: .leading ) {
            
            Color.black.ignoresSafeArea()
            TextEditor(text: $mytext)
                .background(Color.orange)
                .padding()
                .foregroundColor(Color.gray)
                .frame(width: 362, height: 400)
            

        }

Background color remains Color.white for all cases i applied so what’s wrong here? Thank you.

    You can't really change the background of SwiftUI TextEditor. Either material/shape/color is not possible for applying as a background of SwiftUI TextEditor.

    However, you can multiply the color of your TextEditor which provides a similar result to the general background(.color) except it's not really a background color.

     TextEditor(text: $mytext)
            .colorMultiply(.orange) //modified
            .padding()
            .foregroundColor(Color.gray)
            .frame(width: 362, height: 400)

    We need to clear default background color via appearance

        init() {
        UITextView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
    }

    and then background modifier works in any mode

        TextEditor(text: $mytext)
        .background(Color.orange)

    Tested with Xcode 13.4 / iOS 15.5
