These two switched look like they'll do what you want.  Kinda crappy 
that it doesn't support alpha channels!

       -mix   Compose  the image with the transparency or alpha mask against a
              the background. When a background chunk is available that  color
              is taken, else black will do.

       -background color
              If  no  background  color  chunck is present in the png-file, or
              when another color is required this parameter can be used to set
              the  background  color  of images. This is especially useful for
              alpha-channel images or those with transparency chunks. The for‐
              mat,  to specify the color in, is either (in the case of orange)
              "1.0,0.5,0.0", where the values are floats between zero and one,
              or with the syntax "#RGB", "#RRGGBB" or "#RRRRGGGGBBBB" where R,
              G and B are hexa-decimal numbers.
