Hans and Eli already explained it.

Do you mean the light blue/white/light blue bars in the "(setedit)About
the Author" (file)Node?
If yes then the answer is: you can do it only for setedit/infview/RHIDE.
What I display is the flag of my country (Argentina). As I wanted to do
it I specially added code to my reader to interpret an special escape
sequence in the info files. No other reader can display it. That's fine
for me because the documentation of setedit is supposed to be read from
setedit ;-). The sequence is "\e0x" where x is the color encoded in the
VGA format. 
I also discard it for printed output formats (postscript), but I created
macros to generate it in the HTML version too ;-)
