Default Color in displacy

[yanaiela]

Currently there's a default background color for entities in displacy It would be nice to be able to provide with a different default color.

It seems like a pretty easy change as there's already a colors variable being passed to the function. So a potential fix can simply provide it with another variable (e.g. default_color) and if it exists, use this as the color instead of the default one.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think we'd be happy to take a PR for that.

There is a bg option when rendering POS dependencies (eg displacy.render(doc, style="dep", options={"bg":"ivory"}) but this option does not seem to be available when visualising named entities (displacy.render(doc, style="ent")).
