QApplication::setPalette() function documentation
(http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qapplication.html#setPalette) says "The
palette may be changed according to the current GUI style in
QStyle::polish()." which "Changes the palette according to style
specific requirements for color palettes (if any).".

So Qt is likely to work as intended and your problem may be caused by
the style you use.
