There's no built-in mechanism to achieve that in a normal Word paragraph.

In case of bullets, you could use two styles, both bulleted in the same
way, but with different shading. [That's paragraph shading, so if some
of your bullets are multi-line paragraphs, the result might not be to
your taste.] You define the one style to be followed by the other, and
vice versa.

This is a mechanism that works "as you type" only. It does no kind of
validation or ensures that when you leave a document, the styles are
applied in the way you intended it.

I would not want to try setting this up with numbered lists (problem of
pointing to the same list template else the sequence will be off ...).

You can, however, get there with a table style -- your bullets must each
be set in a table row, but other than that, a table style can be used
for alternative shading.

Robert
