Following is one method which may be what you want.
You need to set up a 1 minute chart in your chartbook that has your volume chart and add:
1) Bar Numbering Study - In Settings and Inputs - Number Every N Bars - set to 1
2) Color Background Based On Alert Condition Study - In Settings and Inputs - Use Vertical Line Instead of Coloring Background - set to No
In the Alerts Window type ISEVEN(ID1.SG1)
Check - Enabled Box
Uncheck - Evaluate on Bar Close Box
Save the study collection.
This will color the background on every even bar on the 1 minute chart.

Minimise the chart if you don't need to see it.

Next on your volume chart add:
1) Study/Price Overlay Study - In Settings and Inputs - Study to Overlay - From the drop down list - The 1 minute chart and to the right - Color Background Based On Alert Condition
Save the Study Collection.

Below are the study collections I used to test the method.
