the piece of code below works for me (with a bit of flicker)

(defun modeline-in ()
  (set-face-background 'modeline "DeepSkyBlue2" (selected-frame)))

(defun modeline-out ()
  (set-face-background 'modeline "DeepSkyBlue3" (selected-frame)))

(add-hook 'select-frame-hook 'modeline-in)
(add-hook 'deselect-frame-hook 'modeline-out)
