>From the fine docs:

|color
|        Specify the color of the padded area, it can be the name of a
|        color (case insensitive match) or a 0xRRGGBB[AA] sequence.
|        The default value of color is "black".

ffmpeg-user random tip #9
One minute of audio silence with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -ar 48000 -t 60 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -i /dev/zero  \
    -ab 64K -f mp2 -acodec mp2 -y silence.mp2
