Default word table two colours in one cell

Hi everyone,


does anyone know, if there is a trick to get two seperate colours (50/50) within one word table?
There should not be a flow in the colour change rather an exact cut. (picture attached)

Thanks already!!

You could apply a single shade to the cell, then overlay it with a right-angle triangle shape having the other colour.

Or you could insert two complimentary right-angle triangle shapes, each with a different colour. I'd be inclined to align & group them also and, perhaps, send them behind text.

If you don't mind the split being horizontal or vertical (not diagonal) you can 'split' a cell then delete the internal border then apply the correct shading to each half. See photo: -

Here is another photo showing a vertical split (except I forgot to delete the vertical internal border).
