I would like to visually hint that I am editing a buffer as root
(using TRAMP) by setting the background to a slightly more red color.
What hooks are involved?

Exemple to change the header line :
(defun my-tramp-header-line-function ()
(when (string-match "^/su\\(do\\)?:" default-directory)
(setq header-line-format
(format-mode-line "----- THIS BUFFER IS VISITED WITH ROOT PRIVILEGES -----"
'font-lock-warning-face))))
(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'my-tramp-header-line-function)
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'my-tramp-header-line-function)

How do I buffer-locally set the background color?

You can't: background color is a frame parameter, so it can be set
local to each frame but not each buffer.

You can fake it with an overlay. But this works only on the non-empty
parts of a buffer.
(let ((ov (make-overlay (point-min) (point-max) (current-buffer) nil t)))
(overlay-put ov 'face '(:background "red")))
-ap

In Emacs 23 you can use
(set (make-local-variable 'face-remapping-alist)
'((default (:background "red"))))
(which has the same limitation).
