    Its not Unity's background colour, just the default colour your camera sees when no objects are being rendered. Go to your scenes camera and change the background colour picker in the inspector. You can also change clear flags too 'Solid Color', or use a skybox material using the same texture.

    I agree. The first thing I do on creating a new scene is to change the camera background to black. That sky blue really irritates me. If you find a solution to this, please share it!

    Edit Menu > Preferences... > Colors > Change the background color under the Scene heading.

    This changes the background of the #Scene editor. Click on Main Camera in the Hierarchy to change the background color for when you press Play.

    In Unity 5.1.2.1f on a mac I goto Unity>Preferences>Colors then under scene I changed the background color but in the scene view there is still the skybox looking view (or background). Is there a another way to change this? (Its pretty horrible looking...)

    The game scene is simple Clear Flags: Solid Color.

    This is what I know but on Windows. Maybe helps you too!
    Two things need to do:
    1- On the scene panel uncheck the Skybox
    2- Click on the camera then in the Inspector, change the clear flag to Solid color
