why character styles can't hold backgroundcolor?

I have read this page: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/keynote/tanfce072687/mac

about 「add a background colour to text 」that have a tips:


Tip: If you often add colours behind text, you can create a character style that uses a particular text background colour. Then you can choose that style from the Character Styles pop-up menu to highlight selected text with that colour. You can also create a keyboard shortcut to apply the character style.

But, when I try do it, the styles can not hold the background.

How can I do ?


Mac mini, macOS 11.4
