I am no expert on this, but I will guess that you can't do it this way. 
The color box is stuck to a certain position on the page, and a float is 
not, so the combination does not make sense. What you'd need to do is 
insert the float and then apply the color to the caption, say. And 
probably INSIDE the caption, not the whole caption.
