You can use the xsetroot program for that, with option -solid followed by a color code, or some nicer program like hsetroot, like

hsetroot -solid '#000000'

See their man pages.

Also, you should put the command in some autostart script for awesome.

    xsetroot/hsetroot put me on the right path. after some puzzling figured out how to make it stick. changed the wallpaper line in my theme.lua to: theme.wallpaper_cmd = { "hsetroot -solid '#000000'" }
