Color Scheme

We now go to enhancing your presentation, using different colors for title text and body text. Here, you could customize the background, and use fills and shadows As well as manipulate the colors used for hyperlinks, fills, and accents such as bullets.

A color scheme consists of the eight colors used in the design of the slide—colors for background, text and lines, shadows, title text, fills, accents, and hyperlinks. A presentation's color scheme is determined by the design template that's applied.

You can view a slide's color scheme by selecting the slide and then displaying the Slide Design-Color Schemes task pane. You can also apply a color scheme to one slide, selected slides, or all slides, as well as to notes and handouts. Modifying a color scheme is easy due to the full range of color options. Colors can also be changed for any or all elements on the slide.
