    Hogstad_Raadgivning yes this is possible and you can see this in the More... multiple lines of text column in the image below. If there is text then the background color is blue, but the background stays white if there is no text:

     

    Put the following JSON in the advanced mode screen when you format the column:

    {
      "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
      "elmType": "div",
      "txtContent": "@currentField",
      "style": {
        "padding-left": "14px",
        "background-color": "=if(@currentField != '','#4f7b95','#fffffc')",
        "color": "white"
      }
    }
