In the "Cultural Event Flyer" template the image is mostly clear on the left but then it has a purple background on the right. How could I change the purple to blue?

    The background is not a background, it is an image in the header that is grouped. You can ungroup the image and then delete parts, replacing them with something else. Since parts are simple shapes, you can simply change the color.

    Here is a temporary link to a sample where I changed some filtering rectangles from purple to blue:
