d.background
d.background --help
d.background color=name  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui] 
Flags:
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
 
Parameters:
- color=name [required]

d.background will fill the image (or generally display monitor)
with a single color specified by the 
color option.
d.background is a frontend to 
d.erase and shares its limitations.
Namely, it does not work with the wx monitors such as 
d.mon wx0.
In this example, the 
streets_wake map from the North Carolina sample
dataset is displayed with custom background color (specified using HTML hex color code)
using 
cairo display monitor (creates file called 
map.png):
g.region vector=streets_wake
d.mon cairo
d.background color=#ADEFD1
d.vect map=streets_wake color=#00203F legend_label="Streets"
d.legend.vect -b at=70,30 title="Wake County"
