There is no straight way from the API to create such a shadow background for a stacked bar chart, but you can create it as a dummy series with disabled enableMouseTracking and showInLegend options.

Sample code:

  plotOptions: {
    bar: {
      stacking: 'percent'
    }
  },
  series: [{
      color: '#ddd',
      enableMouseTracking: false,
      showInLegend: false,
      data: [7, 7]
    }, {
      data: [1, 1]
    },
    {
      data: [2, 2]
    }
  ]
