One could easily do something like this with one of the Tk modules in
python, perl, or tcl.

A quick-n-dirty would be to open an xterm with various background colors:

xterm -geometry=LARGExLARGER -bg AntiqueWhite3 &

Make the geometry ver large, and/or drag it around the screen to see where
there might be problems.  Change colours to suit.
