Looking at my crib file there is a Gimp switch for this

--system-gimprc=filename
Use an alternate system gimprc file.

Thanks for thinking outside the box, but not exactly quicker than what I'm doing now. 

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish and why.

So now I would 

• 5 key to launch the color picker for the custom padding color
  
• drag the color slider to white or black
  
• OK
  
• 5 key again to change color again if needed
  
• drag the color slider to white or black
  
• OK
  
• 6 key to get back to my normal padding color (from theme)
  

It's not exactly slow, but I do it enough that automating would make sense if it wasn't terribly difficult.

What I was looking for was

• 3 key to black padding (no confirmation, just change color)
  
• 4 key to white padding (no confirmation, just change color)
  
• 5 key for custom chooser
  
• 6 key for default from theme
  

The padding from theme shortcut already works without any confirmation.

I figured it wasn't particularly easy when I couldn't find any existing command dealing with it, but would have been upset if I found out it could have been done easily all this time.

Thanks Rich!
