Page color and do not block header
I know that in order to set a specific page with page color in word, I need to use a workaround where I draw a rectangle filled with color and then stretch to fill the entire page and set it to hide behind text.
I did that but this page also has a header where it shows the name of company and then next row is just a long black rectangle. The black rectangle was set to "tight".
but now I have a problem because "page color" rectangle does not block content in the page but it block the header (both text and black rectangle). I don't understand why it is blocking both the text and shape in the header. How can I fix this?

You have posted this twice. Sometimes it is hard for a new user to see that a question has been posted.
I recommend that you go to your other post where there are two good responses.

Headers and footers are in a different layer of a Word document and anything placed in the page will cover parts of headers and footers if it overlaps.
You may adjust the layering (Z‑order) of your rectangle or move it into the header itself.
