Hi,

I would love to have an option to be able to change the text background color within a post.

Not the whole text, but, for example, a sentence or few words.

Can’t find how to do it right now.

This would probably be complicated to include as a theme feature. However, with some basic HTML and CSS knowledge, this is easy to achieve in the HTML editor.

<span style="background: #eee;">Your sentence here.</span>

will produce a sentence with a light grey background.

If you prefer to use the visual editor, you can use a child theme to create shortcodes to do this, or use one of the many plugins that will create shortcodes for you.

I think Ultimate TinyMCE has the option to change text background colour – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/
