The following functions are there to set the background and border

void KoShape::setBackground(KoShapeBackground *fill)

KoShape::setBorder(KoShapeBorderModel *border)

however they might do things a bit different to what you would like to do. If 
you just want to specify 2 colors and don't want support for gradients e.g. 
and not to be able to set it like for the other shapes then you can also add 2 
options to the option widget of the barcode.

Hope that helps,
