I am using this for changing the background color in QLineEdit widgets and 
so on (self is a QLineEdit derived class). You can give a try:

     def setPaletteBackgroundColor(self, color):
             palette = self.palette()
             role = self.backgroundRole()
             palette.setColor(role,color)
             self.setPalette(palette)

It is almost what you are doing. Could it be you are not giving the 
appropriate role?

Regards,

Armando
