You can use Console.BackgroundColor property.

The best practice would be:

// save the previous color
var prevColor = Console.BackgroundColor;

// set your color
Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;

Console.Write("Hello World"); 

Console.BackgroundColor = prevColor ;

// finally, reset all colors to originals.
Console.ResetColor();

Example ( my default text color is Green )

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.Write("Hello");

    var prevColor = Console.ForegroundColor;

    // Set new text's color
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;

    Console.Write(" World");

    // Restore old text's color
    Console.ForegroundColor = prevColor;

    Console.ReadLine();
}
