You need to use CSS attribute names. Thus:

  $WikiStyle['box']['background-color'] = '#eeeeff';
  $WikiStyle['box']['border'] = '1px dotted blue';

  >>box<<
  %bgcolor=#ccccff%INFORMATION TITLE%%\\
  INFORMATION CONTEXT
  >><<

works. But since you need to indicate which content is the title, you'll 
need a tag of some sort, so a new style is as good as any. You could do:

  $WikiStyle['box']['background-color'] = '#eeeeff';
  $WikiStyle['box']['border'] = '1px dotted blue';
  $WikiStyle['title']['background-color'] = '#ccccff';

Then:

  >>box<<
  %title%INFORMATION TITLE%%\\
  INFORMATION CONTEXT
  >><<
