function onDataBaound(e) {
            var combobox = $(this).data('tComboBox');
            var str = '<%:Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewData["Values"]))%>';
            str = str.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, '');
            str = str.split(',');
            var j = 0;                             
            if (combobox.selectedIndex == -1) {
                var index = -1;
                for (var i = 0; i < combobox.data.length; i++) {
                    if (combobox.data[i].Value == str[j]) {
                        index = i;
                        j++;
                        var $li = $(this).data('tComboBox').dropDown.$items.eq(index);
                        $li.css('color', 'red');                           
                    }
                }
            }              
        }

You can alter the brushes associated with the control. If all you are looking to do is change the background color this should be relatively easy. Take a look at this article http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radcombobox-styles-templates-modifying-brushes.html
