How to use different Color Theme in Ms word document?

I have a document with 3 pages, in each page I have a table for which I want to use I different color theme.

In MS Word 365 I go to Design menu and then option Colors and select desired color theme. This is different than Table design menu which gives completely different results and styles, but not the desired ones.

enter image description here

The issue is that when I select a color theme, the the theme is applied to the whole document and not only the table I have selected.

How can I use color themes for specific tables avoiding to applied it to whole document? Thanks

The themes you are referring to are Document themes. They change anything linked to a theme in the document. You cannot use them for parts of a document.

There are also Table Styles available which could be used to change how different tables work. Note, since table styles use the Normal paragraph style, changes to that style can change the appearance of tables. That style is tied to the document theme.

Table Styles can be found on the Table Design tab. That tab is contextual; it appears when you are in a Table. In earlier versions it was simply a second "Design" tab under Table Tools.
