In the Table toolbar, there is a two-step control for setting the background, first one selects the Area Type/Filling, then when it's set to Color, one can set Fill Color (essentially the latter is the same setting as the one in the Properties dialog mentioned by m_a_riosv). Is this setting cumbersome and unintuitive? Yes. Are tables inconvenient to use in Impress in general? Yes. (eg. the toolbar control is only updated to show the current cell's setting if the cell is selected, not when the cursor is in the cell) Should the setting be improved? Yes. I think the mentioned setting not working is just a smaller symptom of the UX problems with setting background color (indeed, Drawing toolbar isn't where one should look for cell background color setting), and this could use input from the UX team. Would also be good to have a comprehensive approach that includes Writer and Calc (eg. Writer has a control for setting table background color in a somewhat unintuitive place in the sidebar), plus consider how other office products solve this.
