Make sure that you have a background or foreground material selected that is different to the background of your image. The background material determines the fill colour of the shape. The foreground material sets the outline colour.
Either can be set to transparent by clicking the "Transparent" icon under one of the material samples... it is the icon shaped like a circle with a diagonal line through it. You can also turn off the outline by setting the line width to zero.
You will also need to have "Retain Style" unchecked in the Tools Option palette. Otherwise the shape will use the materials that it was saved with rather than those that you set.
