Ah, I see it now under "Fonts & Colors" -> "Syntax" -> "Java" -> "Text Block". It would be nice if the preview area had a multiline example. Note that the editor window doesn't paint it in the new colour after hitting Apply or Ok. You have to close and re-open the editor - this makes it tedious to adjust until you get a colour you like.
At first I was expecting it to render just like any other String literal, but now I've recognized that it is good to have a different background colour to make it clear what leading whitespace is and is not included in the String.
