Have you tried   $frame->SetBackgroundColour(wxRED);?

From the wxBook, "Because wxFrame derives from wxTopLevelWindow and wxWindow, please also refer to the member functions for these classes".

Stock color objects are wxBLACK, wxWHITE, wxRED, wxBLUE, wxGREEN, wxCYAN, and wxLIGHT_GREY. There are also many available standard colors, too many to type here, accessed by:   Wx::Colour->new("yellow"); or Wx::Colour->newRGB(#,#,#);

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
