Marek's answer is elegant. If you need to change more attributes than just the colors, subclass from PushButton and provide the required slot for pressed. Here's an example in Python (using PySide) that displays two different texts on the button, depending on whether it is active or not: 

class TogglePushButtonWidget(QPushButton):
    """Toggles between on and off text

    Changes color when in on state"""
    def __init__(self, parent, on, off):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.on = on
        self.off = off
        self.state = True
        self.rotate_state()
        self.pressed.connect(self.toggle_state)    
    def toggle_state(self):
        self.state = not self.state
        if self.state:
            self.setText(self.on)
            self.connect_w.setStyleSheet('background: #bbffbb;')
        else:
            self.setText(self.off)
            self.connect_w.setStyleSheet('')

setStyleSheet("QPushButton { background-color: gray; }\n"
              "QPushButton:enabled { background-color: green; }\n");

You can apply this method on single button but I recommend to apply it on QAppliaction so it will have effect on all QPushButtons
