If you right-click on the active zone of a [cnv] object and select "Help", then look in [pd edit] you will find the messages to change the colors of [cnv] objects. The same principle works for all IEM-GUI objects (tgl, nbx, hsl, ...)

If you mean a [cnv] object, then you need to set a receive-symbol on it and send messages to it like "color -666" where the number is computed this way:
red | [* 256] | [+] <- green | [* 256] | [+] <- blue | [* -1] | [- 1] | [color $1} | [s my_cnv]
where [} is a msgbox
However, if you mean coloring the background of a [pd] object or other patcher, GOP or not, then you can't using Pd internals, which you can circumvent by covering the whole patcher using a very big [cnv]. You may also use TOXY (by Krzysztof Czaya) to issue Tcl/Tk commands from Pd.
