I think you can just put the colored box inside a figure float. But it 
would probably be neater to to create a custom float and custom float 
style. Most of that is a LaTeX thing rather than a LyX thing. See e.g.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95631/defining-a-new-type-of-floating-environment

Getting the new float to show up in LyX requires a little bit of layout 
code, which can be adapated from stdfloats.inc, which can be found in 
the system layout/ directory.
