How can I restore the default background color in Eclipse?

Question

For a long time I have used a grey background color in Eclipse, and it's awful. But I have really no idea how I can switch back to a default white background.

I have looked in Window > Preferences under the General and Java tab, and tried with Restore to Defaults on them, but it doesn't work.

The color settings in Eclipse is a pain.
