What does it take to customize Confluence page backgrounds - either background colors or images?

Question

I'm trying to transform some rather "engineering" dashboards in Confluence to make them a little easier on the eyes.  At a minimum, I want to change the background color; I may want to go so far as to put our logo on the page in the background.

I thought this sort of thing came as a capability in Confluence, but I'm gathering I need to install an extension of some sort, likely for a fee.  Can anyone recommend a solution?  Obviously, free would be the most attractive option, though if the cost is minimal, I can probably sell it to my org.

What say ye?

@Randy O'Neal In cloud you have limited options.  On data center you can add custom CSS and JavaScript as an admin that would provide those changes for free.

Cloud does not allow for this so you will have to follow the documentation here and it does not really address individual pages (Site and Space Only):

You will need to get an app that provides the functionality you are looking for.  I know that there a number to choose from.

Hi @Randy O'Neal

Unfortunately having a background color or image will require an addon.
