Maybe something like this will help.

(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
=A0 =A0 =A0'(("DBUG" . (:background "gold" :foregr= ound "indianred3" :weight bold))
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0("LEAK" . (:background "gold" :foregrou= nd "indianred3" :weight bold))
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0("SEGF" . (:background "gold" :foregrou= nd "indianred3" :weight bold))
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0("CNCL" . (:background "snow3" :foregro= und "black" :weight bold))
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0))

Of course you would need to change the keywords to what ever you use.
