If anyone wants to try it here's a simple hack.

I replaced outline-font-lock-keywords with this definition (note the
\xa after outline-regexp, the newline character is also matched):

(defvar outline-font-lock-keywords
 ;; Highlight headings according to the level.
 '((eval . (list (concat "^" outline-regexp ".+\xa")
                 0 '(or (cdr (assq (outline-font-lock-level)
                                   '((1 . outline-1-face)
                                     (2 . outline-2-face)
                                     (3 . outline-3-face)
                                     (4 . outline-4-face)
                                     (5 . outline-5-face)
                                     (6 . outline-6-face)
                                     (7 . outline-7-face)
                                     (8 . outline-8-face))))
                        font-lock-warning-face)
                 nil t))))


It's for emacs21. You have to define your own faces to use it:

(defface outline-1-face
  '((t (:background "lightsteelblue1")))
  "Outline face for level 1.")
