impossible to set backround color

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to get a pie chart with all background gray.

This is the code I'm using:

    $chart = new PieChart();
    $chart->getPlot()->getPalette()->setBackgroundColor(array(
      new Color(50, 50, 50),
      new Color(50, 50, 50),
      new Color(50, 50, 50),
      new Color(50, 50, 50),
    ));
    $chart->getPlot()->setLogoFileName('');

    $dataSet = new XYDataSet();
    $dataSet->addPoint(new Point("A" (0 MB)", 0));
    $dataSet->addPoint(new Point("B" (1874 MB)", 1074));
    $dataSet->addPoint(new Point("C" (1 MB)", 1));
    $chart->setDataSet($dataSet);
    $chart->setTitle("Foo");

    $chart->render('/tmp/foo.png');

The result is a pie with gray background only around the pie itself, but white 
for the rest of image.

Libchart version: 1.3
PHP: 5.4.6
OS: Ubuntu 12.10

I see in source that Plot class has a protected $backGroundColor property, that 
is hard-coded to white.
There's no public method to change property.
