Description
When disabling various layers it is difficult to tell the difference between a black sprite pixel and the black background. It would be nice to be able to change the color of the background.
I tried to implement a workaround in lua, but there doesn't seem to be any way to draw behind the game sprites using a lua script.

Research direction
Start by investigating BizHawk's SNES rendering path and how Lua scripts draw relative to game sprites; the issue does not name a file or test. Done means users can change the background color while disabled layers remain distinguishable from black sprite pixels.
