Cannot read a slide's background colour if it was set at `slide layout` level #809

Open mszbot opened 2 years ago

Problem: Cannot read a slide's background colour if it was set at slide layout level (not slide master level).

Code below returns a error: slide.slide_layout.background.fill.fore_color.rgb

Error: TypeError: fill type _NoFill has no foreground color, call .solid() or .patterned() first

To repro: Try to read the 2nd slide's background colour which is set at slide layout level: slidebackground tests.pptx

Key question: How would you find this in the XML?
