Pressing the shortcut key for most "color" commands does nothing

The screenshot is pretty explanatory. I'm trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to changing the background color of a cell. I search for all "color" commands in Customize -> Keyboard, but none seem to do anything when I press the shortcut key.

The only one that brings up a dialog is Font color, but I don't want to change the font color, I want to change the background color directly, by dropping down the palette from under the Background Color toolbar icon.

Also, what's the difference between "Background color" and "Highlight color"?

In Writer it's easy to see the difference between background color (for a cell) and highlight color (just for text).

I am not sure on Calc. But I supose on the same logic that background is for cell, and highlight is for text in the mean of being different like I found here:
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/ro/text/scalc/guide/cellstyle_minusvalue.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3147434

One problem that I found on Version: 6.4.3.2 when searching for info for your bug is that F3 is not saved as a shortcut. 

I confirm your bug, the shortcuts doesn't do anything here.

Dear Dan Dascalescu,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
