By default, Presentations uses a white background with black text for new presentations. However, you can add colors to the different elements of a presentation at any time. Well-coordinated color combinations can help to make a presentation both more pleasing to the eye and more memorable.

In Presentations, you can specify the colors for eight different types of elements:

▪Text and lines

▪Title text

▪Filled areas (for example, in drawings)

▪Accent

▪Shadow

▪Hyperlink

▪Hyperlink used

▪Background (see also Slide background)

You can view the color theme of a presentation with the command Design | group theme | Color theme. The dialog box displays all color themes defined in the current document and other standard color themes. Not only can you select a color theme here in order to apply it to single slides or to the entire presentation, but you can also change existing color themes or create new ones.
