Add the shape(s) you want and then fill them with the colour, and then make the object overprint by either (#1) assigning Overprint Fill in the Window > Output > Attributes, or #2, assigning Multiply to the shape. Whatever works best, but either way will separate properly at print stage.
(You will need to toggle on Overprint Preview to see the photo/etc underneath in option #1)
