Intro
For the past few years, Arnold became the main render engine in Maya. This means that the process of creating a background color is much easier now, in my opinion. You can do it in less than 4 Steps.
Step 01 - Render Settings
Step 02 - Create a RaySwitch
Step 03 - Change the Colors
Extra
By default all the colors will be black. The Camera color is the one you will see in the background and the Shadow and Diffuse Reflection you can leave them white - it will give a nice standart envirnoment light.
Don’t Forget to Add a Light to Your Scene
…you can add different types of lights - this is what I usually do…
