Maybe I missed some part of the conversation. On a Mac:
• Photoshop preferences / general: uncheck zoom resizes window
• Drag image window out to full size
• Right click in the gray surround and select: select custom color
• Create white (255, 255, 255) or (L 100, a 0, b 0)
The actual color of white should be determined by your monitor white point setting and the soft proof profile / selected rendering intent.

There's a little trick one can use to get a white border without
changing the canvas size: you can change the (gray or black) background
color in full screen mode by using the bucket tool together with the
shift key.
To fill the surrounding area with the color of the paper to simulate,
just convert a white cmyk image abs col to Lab, use Apples DigitalColor
Meter utility to find out the RGB values, use them as foreground color
in Photoshop and fill the surrounding area in full screen mode by
shift-clicking with the bucket tool.
