This is v2 of "fbcon: Use background color for margins​"[1].

It turns out that using the text background color was not a good choice. So,
I've started over.

Can you explain why making the margins simply match the border colour
(when possible) isn't a better option ? They are after all simply
software extensions to the border.

So, basically, you are proposing that it would be better to add a module 
parameter to select the margin color? That does sound like a better 
option to me.
