Just be careful:
this also makes the object transparent in your renders. Thats something you may not want necessarily.
There is a "See-Through" color setting in "Customize->User interface Customization->Colors->Geometry section"
You can change this color to a darker or lighter one - what also affects the transparence somewhat
Sadly to see the effect on the geometry itself, you have to restart 3ds Max
So its an awkward trial-and-error way to find your sweet spot...
Just for completeness:
you also could put your reference planes on a seperate layer and set display properties ( in the object properties ) to "By Layer" and adjust the layer properties accordingly.
This way you could have a fully shaded background ref pic with a wireframe model to work with on top
