There are two solutions to this...I think.
1. Create a custom slide layout in Slide Master view with the shape as part of the background, then add an accessible Content placeholder or Text placeholder over it. Only the accessible placeholder will be on the slide itself in Normal slide layout. The shape/box will be part of the background.
2. Create a custom slide layout in Slide Master view with an accessible Content or Text placeholder that has the background colour you want, making sure that the colour contrast between the background and the text is conforming.

Apologies, I don't have the original post with the sample slides.

Cheers, Karen
