Hi Marcus,

You can have approaching effects using boxes to surround the TODO keywords.
For example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-todo ((t (:weight bold :box (:line-width 1 :color "red3") :foreground "white" :background "#FF5555"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in my color theme Leuven (see
http://orgmode.org/worg/color-themes/color-theme-leuven.el).

Best regards,
  Seb
