I own a mac too! here is the code that will work:

myButton.setBackground(Color.RED);
myButton.setOpaque(true); //Sets Button Opaque so it works

before doing anything or adding any components set the look and feel so it looks better:

try{
   UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
 }catch(Exception e){
  e.printStackTrace(); 
 }

That is Supposed to change the look and feel to the cross platform look and feel, hope i helped! :)
