Basically, the background colour default depends on the Mode the graph is running in. The default colour, as specified in the routers2.conf, is overridder in several cases to indicate an automatically selected Mode.
In this case, the selected mode is probably CPU (somehow the script has identified that you are graphing a CPU target) and has set a number of defaults appropriately. One of these is a yellow background colour. You can still override this on a target basis -- in the MRTG .cfg file, use the Background[targetname]: #ffffff
directive -- but the routers2.conf default is no longer active.
This is a default action that I regret having set... but it may now cause more confusion if it is removed.
You also get different colours based on Memory, Ping and Generic target modes.
