This is incredibly non-obvious, unfortunately, but you can set any
arbitrary color by bringing up the Colors table under backgrounds, and
then running Gimp or another GTK app with a color picker dialog and
dragging the color from that to the table.

I don't really understand why there isn't just a color picker there in
the first place. It's like a customization easter-egg!
