Recolor: White flicker while page is loading

How to reproduce:

  1. Use e.g. [zathura 0.4.6 | girara 0.3.5 (runtime: 0.3.5) | (plugin) pdf-poppler (0.3.0)]
  2. activate recolor mode
  3. scroll quickly through a large PDF / jump to different pages / rotate pages

Observed behaviour: The page sometimes gets loaded in normal mode before (fractions of a second) changing colors defined for the recolor mode ("turning dark")

Result: Recolor mode is not nice to use when sitting in a dark lecture room since there a bright flashes from time to time (when using a light colored PDF).

Suggestion: Fill page with recolor-darkcolor color as long as the page is loading, apply recolor color changes to the page, and subsequently render the page to the user.

EDIT: There seem to be documents where I can recreate this with ease and others where this doesn't occur at all. I will try to find and provide an example.
