Use 'default' for the background color to get a transparent background.

Acc. to the manual:
"If Mutt is linked against the S-Lang library, you also need to set the
COLORFGBG environment variable to the default colors of your terminal for
this to work; for example (for Bourne-like shells): 

      set COLORFGBG="green;black"
      export COLORFGBG
"
