curty@einstein:~$ mupdf
usage: mupdf [options] file.pdf [page]
        -p -    password
        -r -    resolution
        -A -    set anti-aliasing quality in bits (0=off, 8=best)
        -C -    RRGGBB (tint color in hexadecimal syntax)
        -W -    page width for EPUB layout
        -H -    page height for EPUB layout
        -S -    font size for EPUB layout
        -U -    user style sheet for EPUB layout

So I guess, 'mupdf -C FFEFD5 foo.pdf' (which gives papaya, not wheat--can't find
wheat--but at least it's a foodstuff). Works here.

I use mupdf from time to time, but as it doesn't refresh automagically like
Evince when I run 'pdflatex' on an open pdf file whose tex source I've
modified, I prefer the latter.
