Our approach to this is to make the background color of the map a light  
gray color, and make the parcel polygons a light orange, tan, or yellowish  
color with opacity set to about 50%. If we have a single polygon that  
represents the city boundary it typically gets a white color. The opacity  
values of each of these layers gets adjusted if we also have aerial photos  
to display under them.
