Add (Alt+insert), choose 'project files' scope, select a color.

Uncheck the 'Use in editor tabs' checkbox, make sure to check 'Use in project view'

For changing the background of the editor goto File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts->General->Text. You'll see an item called "Default text". On the right you will see a checkbox for background. Click on it and choose whatever color you prefer.
