If these block entities are on their own layers (not sharing layers with entities of your own) - then you could set the color of those layers to whatever (say 253), and then run SETBYLAYER on the block inserts.

There are assorted routines out there to do this kind of thing, such as this one, and this whole thread, which put everything on Layer 0 but could be modified easily to use another Layer.
