I'm generating some graphs by execing rrdtool from php:
rrdtool graph --color BACK#xxxxx ... ... ...
and it sets the paper color all the way across the graph image. I think maybe CANVAS would set the paper color for the gridded area containing the graph lines, with SHADEA for the top/left border and SHADEB for the bottom/right border where the legend and labels are. Etc for the other options.

BACK background, CANVAS for the background of the actual graph
I'm guessing BACK is the outside border and CANVAS is behind the faint red/grey lines and the data plot.
I'm guessing it's space delimited, but could you confirm the change, compile and post to the list, Lynn?

If you just want to make the graph paper color non-white, you should only need to add something like:
rrdargs[argi++] = "-c"; rrdargs[argi++] = "BACK#e9e9e9";to get a light shade of grey. If you want it configurable, there's several places in that same file where bits need adding to be able to get options from the graphs.cfg.

My mistake, I was thinking the background of the page that the graph was on rather then the graph image itself.
I'm thinking you'll need to modify the Xymon code itself, as I don't recall this being configurable. Looking at hobbitgraph.cfg I see that has the data and variables, but the rrdtool command needs the option set. I don't know what calls hobbitgraph.cfg, but I bet if you find out you'll find the answer to your original question.

No, Josh, was referring to the graphs generated from the rrd data.

You mean the repeated green/yellow/red background? Just change the image file.

I'm looking through the various cfg files, looking for a place to change the background (canvas) color of all the generated graphs.
I thought I'd find it in xymonserver.cfg, but didn't see it.
Has anyone else figured this out before?
Thanks!
