Maybe it's not as easy as you would like, but there's already such a 
feature in tt_news. You can have alternate templates for news items, 
which allows you to use different classes and hence difference 
backgrounds (for example).

Look at the template file provided with the extension 
EXT:tt_news/pi/news_template.tmpl and corresponding part of the manual.

Have I misunderstood your point?

Cheers
