I didn't remember offhand, but I remembered that CALL 62454 would fill the
current screen with the last used color.  62454 is $F3F6, so I looked and
found it using $E6 as the high byte of the pointer to the memory to fill.

$E6 is 230, so you want to POKE 230,32 to draw to page 1 and POKE 230,64
to draw to page 2.
