I know that you can change the preview mode background color in Preferences>Guides and Pasteboards. When I was working on a document, without going into preferences, my preview mode (shortcut: W) randomly turned black. I am assuming I pressed some keyboard shortcut accidentally or it was a glitch? I went into the Preferences to change the color back to gray, and the background was now set as Black, even though I did not change it in Preferences originally. Anyone know what's up?

Shift+W enters InDesign's Presentation Mode which displays a black screen with the InDesign document centered...
Any tools, menus or panels on the primary monitor are also hidden.
You can use the Arrow Keys to flip through document pages in Presentation Mode.
To turn off Presentation mode, hit Shift+W again or ESC.
It must have been a glitch that caused it to happen in preview mode. However in presentation mode (shortcut:Shift+W) you can change the background color between White, Black and Grey by pressing "W" for white, "G" for grey and "B" for black.
Go to Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard. Make sure that Preview Background-Match to Theme Colour has a check mark.
Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard > Preview Background > Light Grey
