You can do it with a gtkrc. For example, set this resource file:

--
style "red_style" = "default"
{
        bg[NORMAL] = "#C1665A"
        bg[PRELIGHT] = "#E0B6AF"
        bg[ACTIVE] = "#C1665A"
        bg[SELECTED] = "#C1665A"
        bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#884631"
}
widget "*red_widget" style "red_style"
--

Now in your code do:

void
set_name( GtkWidget *widget, const char *name )
{
        gtk_widget_set_name( widget, name );
        if( GTK_IS_CONTAINER( widget ) )
                gtk_container_foreach( GTK_CONTAINER( widget ),
                           (GtkCallback) set_name, (char *) name );
}

set_name( button, "red_widget" );

And the button (and any widgets inside the button) should turn red.

No doubt there's a better technique :-(
