Choosing a Color Scheme

PowerPoint's Design Templates have pre-selected colors but you can choose your own color scheme. A color scheme is a combination of colors for the text and background of your slides.

To Choose a Different Color Scheme:

  • In the Task Pane, click on the down-pointing arrow in the gray bar next to New Presentation.
  • Choose Slide Design - Color Schemes.

Choose Design Color Scheme

  • A list of color schemes appears.
  • Move your arrow pointer through the different color scheme options or use the scroll bar.
  • When you find a color scheme that you like, click on the down-pointing arrow in the gray box and choose Apply to All Slides.
