You can try this only when you have no other option.
You will have to write three triggers.
1. When-new-form-instance at form level
declare
     myvar varchar2(25);
     it_id item;
begin
     if (:block3.text2) is null then
          it_id:=find_item('block3.text2');
          Set_Item_Property(it_id,BACKGROUND_COLOR,'r255g0b0');
     end if;
end;
2. When-new-item-instance at item level
declare
     it_id item;
begin
     it_id:=find_item('block3.text2');
     Set_Item_Property(it_id,BACKGROUND_COLOR,'r255g255b255');
end;
3. post-text-item at item level
declare
     myvar varchar2(25);
     it_id item;
begin
     if (:block3.text2) is null then
          it_id:=find_item('block3.text2');
          Set_Item_Property(it_id,BACKGROUND_COLOR,'r255g0b0');
     end if;
end;
