You need to make sure that the model supplies data for the BackgroundRole
of each item as well as for the standard DisplayRole. The standard styled
delegate will then make sure that the cell uses that background colour.

If the model does not supply data for the BackgroundRole, you can use a
custom delegate to paint the background in the way you have shown, but you
then need to call the base class's implementation of paint().
def paint(self, painter, option, index):
path = index.model().data(index, QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole).toString()
painter.fillRect(option.rect, QtGui.QColor(path))
QStyledItemDelegate.paint(self, painter, option, index)
Good luck!
