how to add background color for top and bottom geometry page?

Question

I am trying to create a document and somehow I want it to be in color, but it has been difficult for me to try to color the top and bottom, for all pages in general

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,oneside]{book}%
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}%[showframe]
%  edit title and header
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Getting Started}
\section{Preview sect}
\end{document}

So far I have managed to create the structure

Do you really want a background for the headers and footers, or just a coloured zone above the header and under the footer? — Bernard, Jul 10 '20 at 17:40

If I've well understood, it's easy to do with eso-pic:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,oneside]{book}%
\usepackage{newpxtext, newpxmath}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}%[showframe]
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
% edit title and header
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[explicit,]{titlesec}
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\AddToShipoutPictureBG{\color{DodgerBlue}%
\AtPageUpperLeft{\rule[-20mm]{\paperwidth}{20mm}}%
\AtPageLowerLeft{\rule{\paperwidth}{25mm}}}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Getting Started}
\section{Preview sect}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}

Unrelated: You don't have to load amsfonts when you load amssymb. Also, nowadays, you don't have to load inputenc: utf8 is now the default. I recommend to load newpx rather than mathpazo, as it is based on a palatino clone which has more glyphs.

Fantastic, you have brightened my day. Thank you very much @Bernard — royer, Jul 10 '20 at 18:44
