I wouldl like to change the color of a label in the statusBar

Qt Code:
  1. statusLabelWarning = new QLabel;
  2. statusLabelWarning->setPixmap( warningPixmap);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
warningPixmap is a member variable.
When I need to change the color

Qt Code:
  1. statusLabelWarning->setText(tr("Rad. stimata"));
  2. warningPixmap.fill(Qt::red);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but nothing happens.
I am missing something?
