I want to have the background color on my impress presentation to be half one color and half another color. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance
Hoping to have understood your question in the right way… 
There are some possible solutions for your question. I chose the one using 2 grouped rectangles. You may create them in Draw or directly in Impress’ Master View.
See attached sample files. For more details edit your question or add a comment.

Thank you for replying. I do apologize for the confusion I may have caused. The files you sent me were just the idea i have. I am making a presentation for a couple’s 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted to put their favorite colors as some of the backgrounds, and the pictures in the foreground. May i ask how you made those? I know you said the rectangles could be made in Draw or impress, however I cannot seem to get the grasp of making them as of yet. Sorry I am a newbie to this.
Hi,
if you are a pretty newbie so you could inform yourself in the documentation books (availble here in some different versions, English language):
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/
(The Impress guide / PDF contains 400 pages!!!)
In short I can tell you what I did:
- started Impress, used no template (white background)
- toggled to MasterView (right sidebar) or via menu View | Master Slide
- drew a rectangle, half the width of slide, put it to the left, colored the area
- copied the rectangle, put it to the right, colored the area
- selected both and grouped them (if you change the slide proportions you can better adjust)
- selected the group, (right mouse click) arranged it “Send to back” - so the text parts are still visible
- escaped Master View and now one could work on the slides and add some new ones - each with the same background…
If this is too complicated for you - ask a friend and stay together for a glass of wine and let her or him do some of this work. - Godspeed
