I know you mention background color, but might the goal of easy recognition be accomplished if the notes/symbols themselves were colored other than black?

A Yellow clef (or red, etc.) might provide the same visual guidance?

Seeing the discussion on coloured lyrics, colour this and that, I realized that for some parts I do change the Background Colour of the clefs maually (using a standard ofice yellow marking (grease) pencil each time after an update print. The purpose is to have a fast recognition point for the eyes to jump to the next line and/or page.
Something like this:

Is there also a possibility to automatically colour the background in Lilypond, or is there a feature wishlist to which I could add this. A variant marking a complete voice in another background colour or only the clef(s) would probably also do.
