You can create easily a link button with the background color of your choice (148 colors available, details here). These buttons can be displayed in any part of your article or in any module with the type Custom HTML.
It's a good solution to create an horizontal menu with several background colors. Look my example in the module position "bottom" of the Home page (just above the social icons).
Procedure
You must toggle the wysiwyg editor and add the CSS class "color-XX" in the code of your link.
Example of a single link button
Example 01
<a class="color-lightgoldenrodyellow" href="URL of your link here" >Example 01</a>
Example 02 with another background color
Example 02
<a class="color-steelblue" href="URL of your link here" >Example 02</a>
Example 03 : a single button in all width
Example 03
<a class="color-lightgoldenrodyellow text-centered" href="URL of your link here" >Example 03</a>
Example 04 : a single button centered. You must include the button in a DIV with the CSS class "text-center".
<div class="text-center" >
<a class="color-lightgoldenrodyellow" href="URL of your link here" >Example 04</a>
</div>
Example 05 : several links button centered.
<div class="text-center" >
<a class="color-lightgoldenrodyellow" href="URL of your link here" >Example 05</a>
<a class="color-steelblue" href="URL of your link here" >Example 06</a>
<a class="color-lightgoldenrodyellow" href="URL of your link here" >Example 07</a>
<a class="color-steelblue" href="URL of your link here" >Example 08</a>
