The right-click access to the surround color change is for PS CS3.
How quickly we (me anyway) forget. There might be a way in CS2 but it
isn't right click or option click.
Before CS3 I extended the canvas and filled a background layer with
white. File bloat at 16 bits but it works. I made a PS action that I
ran automatically when I opened a new file.
I for one have found a reference white surround to be very helpful. I
agree that matching the luminance of white paper in your viewing area
is just as important as matching the chroma whether it is done
visually or colorimetricly (years since I have done this visually).
Sorry for not being more specific in my original post. Thanks to
Roger Breton for pointing it out.

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
Right clicking in the gray surround does not do anything here?

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.
