A couple of years ago, I tried to use Insert/Box/... with colored background. I
wanted to have greyed background for Examples. Didn’t work well... if I
included floating objects (Figures, Tables, etc.), the preview got messed up.
Maybe it works better with floats in ordinary paragraphs – I haven’t tested
that.
But if you have simple paragraphs, that might work.

Subject: Background color in a paragraph
Is there a simple way in lyx to change the background color of some text, maybe
a paragraph?
I have not been able to find a way to do this natively: the only way I could
obtain it is by using the "soul" package, then inserting the latex code "\hl{"
in ERT just before the the text to be highlighted and then a closing "}" at its
end.
Thanks
