From what I can see there is no way to do this since TextBox inherits from Image (ref https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Style/TextBox.php) which inherits from Frame (https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Style/Image.php).

to me this is a clear deficiency in this library, and would require some work. They would need to have TextBox Style implement the Fill abstraction (https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Style/Fill.php) and then update the output to handle it.

From what I can see (https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Writer/Word2007/Element/TextBox.php) It does not look like there is any implementation for outputting a background color whatsoever for the textbox class. So it would be necessary to add that for all of the writer classes as well, using the "Shading" model likely (https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Writer/Word2007/Style/Shading.php)

So yeah... Something for folks to do when they want.

A workaround is to use a table, with a single cell.

@kjrose ofr the table with a single cell is it possible to achieve rounding (broder radius) ?
