Apart from some inconsistencies with your code example setting the background color and text color of a QPushButton works just fine with:

setStyleSheet('QPushButton {background-color: #A3C1DA; color: red;}')

Example (using PySide):

from PySide import QtGui

app = QtGui.QApplication([])

button = QtGui.QPushButton()
button.setStyleSheet('QPushButton {background-color: #A3C1DA; color: red;}')
button.setText('Press Me')
menu = QtGui.QMenu()
menuItem1 = menu.addAction('Menu Item1')
menuItem2 = menu.addAction('Menu Item2')

button.setMenu(menu)
button.show()

app.exec_()

results in:
