This is a little bit tricky. Every widget has a palette() function which
returns a QPalette. This palette consists of three color-groups which can
be accessed through normal(), disabled() and disabled() and can be changed
trought its corresponding set-functions (setNormal(), ...). According to
the state of the widget one of these color-groups is shown. You can
find more about setting up color-groups in the QT docs (e.g qcolorgroup.html).

Hope that helps

----------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python

from kde import *

import sys
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
label = QLabel("Hello world!")

pal = label.palette()
pal.setNormal(QColorGroup(red, green, blue, black, gray, yellow, white))
label.setPalette(QPalette(pal))

label.show()
app.setMainWidget(label)
app.exec_loop()
