I need to add some color to a shape in publisher. The shape is a square with rounded corners and i need to color the top 15-20% so that i can add contrast to the text that needs to go in the box.
Is this possible in Publisher?

You can't color just a part of a shape; it is all or none. But you can make a shape the size you want to color and then layer it over, or behind the original shape giving you the same effect.
