Hello, you are very lucky, I had the same problem and finally found a solution with a video. I hope it helps. 🙂

The technique in the video is very simple regarding the inner shadow feature.

I think Indesign should improve the data merge issue and there should definitely be a color option. Customers love colorful qr codes.

Здравствуйте, вам очень повезло, у меня была такая же проблема, и я наконец нашел решение с помощью видео. Я надеюсь, что это помогает.

All showing, once again, that while InDesign's QR code generator is a good start on the feature, it really needs a round or two of expansion and TLC to be a fully useful, flexible asset.

I agree with your words, it needs improvement.

A QR code is just a graphic once generated. You can color it any way you like in any suitable tool, as long as you preserve good contrast and completely color each pixel. (You could probably mix colors across pixels, but it would likely degrade readability.)

ID'S generator will allow almost any base color, but I believe there's a limitation on color spec from scripting and data merge. But once created, you can color away.

Thank you very much for your answer. I would love to have such a feature added. Because I have thousands of data 🙂 and it is not possible to make it colored one by one...

I can think of some ways to do it as an additional automated step in Photoshop, but InDesign's generator is a fairly basic tool. There are many generator apps out there with more advanced color and other decorative features that can work from a data file.
