You have a number of options, but importantly you should be able to
use the model index to select the appropriate colour.

Again, you have a number of options here depending on your case some
of the following might work:

 - Instead of using a layout, use anchors.centerIn: parent, anchors.fill: parent
 - Binding an appropriate height/width and/or specifying an
appropriate implicitHeight/implicitWidth.

I would take a look at how other Plasmoids with a similar layout work
to see what works best for your case.
