The easy way is to clear the screen (I usually use black) and set all the
palettes to zero (black), then do your drawing, then restore the palette to
correct values. If you store the palette values in a 16x2 array, you can easily
swap between RGB and Comp palettes.

You can also put text onscreen (via HPRINT) while you draw, just use a palette
that's not used by whatever you're drawing.
