I am not a big fan of watermarks on the screen display because they
make the text harder to read.  Monitors are inconsistent, a soft orange
on yours may be hot pink on mine.  An alternative is to make use of
page_header1/2 and/or page_footer1/2 in your wikiconfig.py to display
your copyright/proprietary/restricted message and maybe use a watermark
 for printed output by tweaking the print.css of your theme.
