I presume you are using indexed color to display your image.
Simply load your image colors into indices 0 to 254 and
use color index 255 to load whatever color you like.
I would do it like this:

LoadCT, 0, NColors=254
TVLCT, 255, 255, 0, 255 ; Yellow in index 255
scaledImage = BytScl(image, TOP=254
scaledImage[bounary_index] = 255
cgImage, scaledImage

Cheers,

David
