      Right now I have a bunch of shapes on a transparent canvas/artwork. What's the easiest way to add a color to the background of an artboard? It must appear in an SVG export. I fear that if I create a rectangle by hand it will never precisely match up with the dimensions of, or align perfectly with, the artboard.

        @chillywilly There is a 'Snap to Artboards' checkbox that if enabled lets you draw a rectangle that snaps to the artboard

        Or you can draw a rectangle that is bigger than the artboard and when exporting (File > Export) choose 'Current Artboard' from the Source dropmenu in the Export window.

        Or use File > Export Artboards.
