Just change the background color of the Slide Master.

If you're using PowerPoint XP (also know as 2002), you can use different
background designs within the same slide show: Open the first slide show, and
go to "Insert, Slides From File." Browse to the second set of slides and
choose the ones you want. When you do that, in the lower left hand corner of
the dialog box you will see a check box that says "Keep Source Formatting."
Check that box. The in-coming slides will keep their backgrounds.

In PP 2002 (and further) you can use as many "Design Templates" as you want
in a
given presentation. I do not think it is possible in earlier versions.

Go to "Format"---> "Slide Design". A column appears at the right of your
screen,
showing the various available designs.

When the mouse passes (not click !) over any of these designs, an arrow
appears,
allowing opening a menu. It allows you to apply the template to "All slides"
or
only to "Selected slide(s)".

Note that if you simply copy a slide in a presentation, it takes the
template of
the slide in front of it, unless you choose the "Keep source formatting" in
the
"Paste options" menu that appears after the paste operation.

I hope it answers your question.
