"Background styles" makes a global change on all slides. But I simply wish to
change the background color of individual slides, so that on some slides the
background color will be white, but on others black. I can't figure out how
to do this.

Thanks for all help!

PPT 2007? Right click either the slide or the slide layout (in Master View)
and choose Format Background.

Your changes will apply to that slide or layout automatically. There's an
"apply to all" button you can use if you need.
