## Details

`&holdercolor` sets the background color of the video holding element, using the CSS variable `--video-holder-color`.

This is the color behind or around video tiles, such as when a video is letterboxed, contained inside a structured layout, or otherwise does not fill its holder. It does not change the whole page background and it does not change pixels inside the camera/video stream.

For the page/chroma background, use [`&chroma`](/advanced-settings/design-parameters/chroma.md). For the video element's own background color, use [`&color`](/advanced-settings/design-parameters/and-color.md). For digital person segmentation over green, use `&greenscreen` or `&effects=4`.
