I've been having this problem for a while too (see my comment here: 
https://code.google.com/p/baposter/issues/detail?id=37 ).

My summary of the bug is that the headerColorOne and headerColorTwo don't seem 
to have any effect on the colour of the background of the header when using 
xetex, and it's always white no matter what.
