title: Set background color (shading) on normal text with python-docx
body: <p>There are plenty of SO threads for setting background color in tables, but I'd like to change color for a piece of normal text in a paragraph.</p>
  <p>I'm able to set the highlight color, but then I can only select 1 of 17 available colors.</p>
  <p>In Word, the background color is referred to as &quot;shading&quot; and is done by clicking the paint bucket icon.</p>
  <p>While highlighting only changes the color behind the text, shading paints the color of the whole line - either way is fine by me.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to set any RGB value behind text which is not in a table by using python-docx?</p>
