Assign multiple colors to background of scatter chart (I.e. by quadrant)?

Is it possible to assign separate colors (one for each quadrant) to the background of a scatter plot? Rather than coloring the points by value (See current screenshot), I'd rather have the background be that color, but I'm struggling to figure out how.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

@Eric_Zhang Thanks, in the meantime, looks like I can create a background image in pain and upload it.

Hello 

 

I am looking for an alternative where I can divide the background of the line and stacked graph into three different categories ranging from 0-30, 30-70 and 70-100. I tried multiple options but none of them worked. If possible could you please suggest me a way out.

 

Regards

Here's an example of creating a custom image for the plot background.

It is not supported at this moment. You can check this idea Ability to show quadrants on scatter chart and vote it up.
