Try setting the application palette (QApplication::setPalette) before 
creating any widgets.

Also...

...try setting the color in the Active group instead or in addition. (I 
think tool tips use active, at least if their parent is active. Maybe 
always... active vs. inactive handling isn't necessarily as well handled 
as it should be.)
