How to change theme colors in PowerPoint

PowerPoint color themes are key to make your presentation look consistent and professional. Using theme colors correctly also makes it easy to change colors and branding later. And understanding how they work means that you can avoid the annoying way that slides change and get messed up when you copy them from one deck to another. Keep scrolling to find out how you can create your own color theme in PowerPoint, and apply it across Office.

First up, what is a PowerPoint color theme? The color theme sets the colors you find in the PowerPoint color palette, under the fill color or text color options. The main colors are set by you, and then PowerPoint creates the various shades underneath each one.

Set PowerPoint theme colors

How do you change theme colors in PowerPoint? To choose your color theme, go to the Design tab on the ribbon, and under Variants, select Colors, which will show you a range of options built into PowerPoint.

If you don’t want any of the pre-set color themes, you can choose the Customize Colors option down at the bottom of the list, which brings up a pop-up box that allows you to alter any of the colors. Select any of the color scheme options, and then More Colors at the bottom, which allows you to choose anything from the color wheel, or input your own RGB values, which may be useful if you want to use your brand colors in your presentation.

Once you’ve chosen the colors you want, you can save the theme with any name you like. That saved theme can be applied to any other PowerPoint deck, but will also be accessible across all Office programs, so you can set the same color themes in Word, Excel, or Outlook.

• In Word , go to the Design tab on the ribbon, then Colors, just to the right of centre.
• In Excel , go to the Page Layout tab in the ribbon, and you’ll find Colors on the far left.
• In Outlook , compose a new message, then go to the Options tab on the ribbon, with Colors also on the far left.

You’ve got to love the way the same thing is hidden in so many different places! Maybe they’re like horcruxes, or something?

If you’ve downloaded BrightCarbon’s very own free PowerPoint add-in BrightSlide it is even simpler to set theme colors. Head to the BrightSlide tab and under the File & Master section select Theme Colors. The Theme Color editor will appear allowing you to set colors based on HEX, RGB or HSL values or using a color picker. It also give you a live preview of the palette and allows you to import and edit spot colors.

There are three categories of color to select in your theme:

Accent colors: The six Accent colors are the ones that are most useful in the PowerPoint color scheme. These are the main colors you’ll use in your presentation, and all Charts and SmartArt will be created using these colors by default.

Text/Background colors: The four options here don’t have to be dark and light, as the name suggests, but it’s recommended, as PowerPoint will use these colors as the background color for charts, and the text color for labels, assuming that you’ve chosen dark and light colors. It’s changing these to colors that are too dark or too light that can cause problems with poor contrast ratios , so try to keep them light and dark colors as appropriate, which will help with your overall PowerPoint color scheme effectiveness and accessibility. You’ll also be able to access these four colors in the theme colors menus.

PowerPoint hyperlink color: If you want to choose a special PowerPoint hyperlink color, and a color for links that have been clicked, you can, but the colors won’t appear in the theme color menus anywhere, so don’t think you can sneak another two colors into the PowerPoint color palette for general use.

PowerPoint color picker

Selecting specific RGB spot colors can be tricky, but using a color picker really helps – either to ensure you’re perfectly matching your brand colors, or picking colors from an image, webpage, or document that you like. A color picker tool will provide the precise RGB value for any color you can find, which you can then input to create your new presentation color scheme. There’s the PowerPoint color picker – built into the program – available from Office 2013 and later, which you can find by selecting an object (anything works for this), then going to the Home tab on the ribbon, over to Shape Fill on the right-hand side, and then selecting the Eyedropper option half way down the menu. Irritatingly, this PowerPoint color picker only works to pick colors within the PowerPoint slide window, so if you have an object on the slide already (like a logo), or can paste an image into it, then it’s fine.

If not, there are plenty of great separate color picker tools that will allow you to pick up the RGB value of any color on your screen. There are loads of them, from incredibly feature-laden, to super simple pick a color, get an RGB code. Simple generally works for me, so things like Pixie and Color Cop are both good.

Theme vs standard vs spot colors

Now that you’ve set your theme colors, use them. Consistent use of the same family of colors makes your presentation look better and not too garish, which your audience and branding department will thank you for. It also means, as mentioned before, that if you change the theme colors, then all your content will change automatically to match. Not just on a single slide, but through your entire presentation. So if you change brand, or need to repurpose slides to fit a different theme, say for a conference, using the main theme colors, and all the various shades, will save you a lot of time.

If you copy and paste your slides into a different deck, with a different presentation color scheme, then your slides will also change to match the new PowerPoint color scheme, making everything consistent, with no additional effort. Incidentally, if you’ve ever copied slides into a new deck and wondered why everything has changed, this is why.

The standard colors are different to the PowerPoint theme colors, in that they’re fixed, and won’t change automatically when you apply a new theme or copy slides into a new deck. This can be advantageous. Say you want to use color to convey meaning – using red for negative and green for positive is a common combination. Here, you’d want to use the standard colors, rather than theme colors, as the colors won’t change, and your meaning won’t get lost if things alter in the future.

The same is true with spot colors. Sometimes you may want to add a specific color into the slide. This might reflect another brand in the deck for instance. In any of the color menus, you can choose More Fill or Outline Colors from the drop-down menu, which reveals the same color options pop-up as before, allowing you to choose anything from the color wheel, or a specific RGB value. Again, these spot colors won’t change if you alter your color theme, so just be aware of any overuse.

My colleague Amy put together some thoughts on how to use color to make presentations more effective , which is also worth considering.

Transparency, gradients, glows, and other effects

The presentation color scheme also applies to the many other formatting effects in PowerPoint. If you choose a theme color for a shape, and then make it semi-transparent, the shape will change color if you apply a new theme in the future. Likewise, if you add a gradient fill using only theme colors, then the gradient will change if the theme is altered. Other effects like glow and the shadow functions, or the change fill or font color emphasis animation effects also use the theme colors by default (although you can select spot colors).

In general, we recommend using the PowerPoint theme colors wherever possible to promote consistency in everything that you’re doing. But it’s worth noting how far the color theme reaches, so that if it changes, and something goes wrong with your slide, you can more easily identify why.

Try creating your own PowerPoint color scheme. And, while you’re at it, you can download a free PowerPoint toolkit from BrightCarbon, all of which is programmed using a rather nice color theme, which you can use, or alter, and watch as all the objects change color to suit your tastes.

Fantastic, tutorial. Brilliant again! 👌🏽

Thanks Mike! Much appreciated. Glad you liked it.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing the information. I really appreciate it.

This is EXACTLY what I have been searching for, thanks Richard! I have been trying to get my SmartArt colour changed for hours now. Thank you

Really useful thank you. Is there a way to share defined themes – so that other people can import/use the same theme rather than everyone having to set it up themselves?

Hi Toby, yes you can, using either a Template or Theme file. In PowerPoint, do all the adjustments you want, then go to File > Save As, and then under the file name box, in the drop down menu (which by default says ‘PowerPoint Presentation (*.pptx)’, choose either ‘PowerPoint Template (*.potx)’ or ‘Office Theme (*.thmx)’. Both of these save all the colour/font settings you’ve made and can be opened as a blank presentation or applied to an existing presentation.

If you open the file as a new presentation, there are some differences: Office Theme – this will save all the colours/fonts/styles and slide masters/layouts. PowerPoint Template – this will save everything the Office Theme does, but also any custom slides you’ve made in the presentation. So it can be a good starting point for a deck if you always use the same core set of slides.

If you want to apply either to an existing document: In PowerPoint – Go to the Design tab > Themes > Drop down arrow > Browse for Themes In Word – Go to the Design tab > Themes > Browse for Themes In Excel – Go to the Page Layout tab > Themes > Browse for Themes

P.S. One day I’ll teach Joby all this. 😉

thank you Richard – that’s really helpful! i’ll use the office theme as that will (presumably) apply to Word, Excel and PPT…which is just what we need! Good luck with Joby though…i think that will be a lot harder to do than creating a bespoke colour palette. haha

I wish I understood this:

If you want to apply either to an existing document: In PowerPoint – Go to the Design tab > Themes > Drop down arrow > Browse for Themes In Word – Go to the Design tab > Themes > Browse for Themes In Excel – Go to the Page Layout tab > Themes > Browse for Themes

When I browse for Theme (to pick up the new Theme with new colors put out by the brand dept), it just imports the master pages from the Theme doc (and the colors), rather than making the new color palette available to the existing pages. But all the existing pages still have the old theme/masters applied. I hope I don’t have to re-apply masters to hundreds of pages! To avoid that, right now, it looks like I need to rebuild the colors in the existing masters, I can’t seem to get the new color palette into the old masters. 🙁 That’s all I want! I can’t seem to find exactly how to do this one arcane thing anywhere on the web! And who knows, maybe it’s because I’m on Mac. There are so many features in PPT that are not available on Mac.

Hi Richard, I’ve encountered something in PowerPoint I never have before, and I wondered if you ever saw it yourself … I program the colors to the brand appropriate rob/hex & when I go back into it I see the color values have been adjusted to a similar mix, but it’s not what I specified. Do you have any insight?

I LIKE MY FRIEND RICHARD!

Add color and design to your slides with Themes

PowerPoint provides a variety of design themes —including coordinated color schemes, backgrounds, font styles, and placement of placeholders. 

Note:  You may be looking to learn about using the Design Ideas button available for Microsoft 365 subscribers. See about  working with PowerPoint Designer.

Pick a theme when you do File > New to start a new presentation.

These built-in themes are great for widescreen (16:9) and standard screen (4:3) presentations. To change the slide size, see Change the size of your slides .

If offered, choose a color variation, and then select  Create .

If you change your mind, you can always change the theme or variant later on the Design tab.

On the Design tab, pick a theme with the colors, fonts, and effects that you like.

To apply a different color variation of a particular theme, in the Variants group, pick a variant.  

Note:  If you don't see any variants, it could be because you're using a custom theme, an older theme designed for earlier versions of PowerPoint, or because you imported some slides from another presentation with an older or custom theme.

Select right arrow in the Variants group to select different  Colors , Fonts , Effects , or Background Styles and choose from built-in options or customize your own.

Create and save a custom theme

You can create a custom theme by modifying an existing theme or by starting from scratch with a blank presentation.

Select your first slide, and then on the Design tab, select the down arrow in the Variants group.

Select  Colors , Fonts , Effects , or Background Styles and choose from built-in options or customize your own.

When you're done customizing styles, select the down arrow in the Themes group, and then select  Save Current Theme .

Give your theme a name, and select Save . By default, it is save with your other PowerPoint themes and will be available in the Themes group under a Custom header.

How to Quickly Change Theme Colors in PowerPoint

It's simple to change theme colors in PowerPoint when you know where to look!

In this tutorial, we'll walk through how to change theme color in PowerPoint, quickly and easily. We'll also look at how you can create your own PPT theme colors and easily use them in your PowerPoint presentation.

What Are PowerPoint Theme Colors?

PowerPoint theme colors are like a color scheme that you can apply to your PowerPoint presentation. Different themes might have different color options (or variants) to choose from. You can reuse this color scheme, and even use your theme in other Microsoft applications, like Microsoft Word and Excel.

PowerPoint theme colors consist of the following:

• Background Colors . These are the background colors defined for your theme. PowerPoint themes include two dark colors and two light colors.
• Accent Colors . PowerPoint themes include six accent colors, which can be applied throughout your presentation. For example, design elements like charts will often draw upon these set colors.
• Hyperlink Colors . These colors are used for hyperlinks. You can define a color for both active hyperlinks and visited hyperlinks.

PowerPoint comes with multiple themes included, so you can easily change theme colors in PowerPoint without installing or downloading anything special. Let's walk through that process now.

How to Change Theme Color in PowerPoint

Are you ready to learn how to change theme color in PowerPoint? Use this step-by-step guide:

First, let's start with a new PowerPoint presentation. 

Instead of choosing a blank presentation, let's choose one of PowerPoint's default themes. This theme is called Madison and it's included with Microsoft PowerPoint.

Once you've selected your theme, just click Create to get started.

So, here we are in our new PowerPoint presentation document. Let's click on the Design tab to look at our color options.

This particular theme has four different color schemes we can choose from. We can find them over on the right hand side. These are our variants.

Click on one of the thumbnails to change the colors. In this example, I've changed the color scheme from the green variant to the blue one. 

Themes that come with variants make it really easy to change the color scheme. But what if you want to do something custom? 

Click on the arrow under our variants. This will give us three options:

• Color . This is where we can change and customize our theme colors.
• Fonts . This is where we can change the fonts used in our presentation.
• Background Style . Here, we can change which background color we're using from our theme or open the Format Background panel.

Let's choose the Colors menu. You'll see that there's a whole host of reset colors we could choose from if we'd like to. Simply click on a preset from the list, if you'd like to use any of these options.

However, you'll want to do something custom. Let's choose Customize Colors from this list, instead.

Remember that list of the different parts of PowerPoint theme colors? Well, here's that list again! We can change the four preset background colors, six accent colors, and two hyperlink colors. 

So, for example, let's change Background Dark 2 to a different color. It's currently a dark blue. Click on the colored square to get started.

Now, PowerPoint gives us a choice of color pickers we can use to select our new color. Choose between the options at the top of the Colors dialog box. You can choose between:

• Color Wheel . A wheel of color with a value (light and dark) slider
• Color Sliders . A variety of sliders (grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and HSB) use can use for selecting very precise colors. This is a good choice for specific colors, like working with hex codes or specific values.
• Color Palettes . Choose colors from preset palettes. You can also import additional palettes if you'd like to.
• Image Palettes . Import an image and use it to select specific colors from the image itself.
• Pencils . A simple and straightforward color picker that looks like a box of colored pencils.

Try toggling between all of them, to see which color picker you prefer. For this example, I chose a green color to test it out.

Once you've made your choice, you can close the Colors dialog box. 

Then, we'll need to save our customized theme colors. Give your custom theme colors a name, and then click Save . 

You'll notice that my background has turned from dark blue to green, now that my custom theme colors are applied. 

How to Use Your Own Custom Theme Colors in PowerPoint

Now that we've explored how to change theme colors in PowerPoint, let's talk about how to create and customize your own. The default themes are nice, but sometimes you might want really different PPT theme colors for your project.

Let's say you're working with a PowerPoint template that doesn't have variant color themes included. Are we stuck with what we've got? Nope, you can customize it! Let's test this out with this professional PowerPoint presentation design:

This PowerPoint template actually comes with some variant color schemes installed. That makes things really simple. 

Just like before, select the Design tab. Then on the right hand side, we can choose between four color Variants here. Here's the PowerPoint theme by default:

And here's what it looks like with one of the alternate theme colors:

But let's say none of these colors are what you're looking for, or maybe your PowerPoint template doesn't come with variants. What do we do then?

Click on the arrow drop-down, on the color variants. 

Then choose Colors > Customize Colors to get started.

Remember these options from earlier in this walk-through? The same ideas apply.

Take note of the Preview on the right hand side of the Create Theme Colors dialog box. We can use this to help us guide our color choices.

So, in this theme there's two green colors used to create a gradient throughout the presentation. We can see that the theme designer assigned that to Accent 1 and Accent 2 in this color list.

We can click on the colors in the Create Theme Colors dialog box to customize them. In this case, I changed Accent 1 to a pink color and Accent 2 to a blue color. You could change these colors to anything you prefer.

Once you're happy with your selections, give your custom color scheme a name and click Save to keep and apply it.

Check out the result! Now, my PowerPoint template has a custom theme color applied. You could take these ideas and apply them in any way that best suits your presentation.

How to Choose PPT Theme Colors for Your PowerPoint Presentation

Now that you know how to change theme color in PowerPoint, which colors should you choose for your presentation? You want to make sure your colors make sense for your goals and for your brand.

• Do you have existing branding to reference? If so, it may be a good idea to use the colors that are part of your branding. For example, if your business has a logo that is green, consider using that same green, for consistency.
• What do you want to visually communicate? Consider making a list of keywords. That can help you select colors if you don't already have a color scheme in mind. For example, a word like "exciting" might warrant more vibrant colors.

If you're looking for some extra ideas and insights, check out this article for some additional, PowerPoint design ideas:

Now, let's explore some tips you can consider when selecting your theme colors in PowerPoint:

1. Color Is Very Communicative

Check out this colorful PowerPoint theme. What does it visually communicate to you? While it's very cheerful and vibrant, it might not be the best choice for something like a bank or a law firm. That's because it looks a bit too informal and playful. These would be industries where we'd want to evoke emotions like trust, stability, and formality.

However, this could be a great choice for something like a clothing brand or even a portfolio. Your color choices can really speak volumes.

2. Consider the Atmosphere You're Creating

PowerPoint presentations contain multiple slides. They should be visually related. Your theme needs to be consistent. In this consistency, we have the ability to create atmosphere. Check out this example. The color scheme is in black and white, and it makes for a classy, sophisticated look. The photography looks even more glamorous, and the theme color plays an important role in that. 

3. Contrast Can Make a Big Impact

In this example, we've got a black and white theme with just a pop of light blue. Notice that the saturation this one is lower. This means that instead of white against black (which would be high contrast), we have white against a soft gray. The blue is also a soft, muted blue. Instead of a dramatic look, like the previous example, we've left with something softer and more relaxing. 

4. Saturation Can Bring a Lot of Energy

This next example also has a single, spot color, but notice how vibrant and saturated it is. It's a saturated purple that blends into magenta. It's really bright and it has high contrast against the white background. This is a much different feeling, isn't it? It has high energy. The gradient also brings a sleek, stylish look. 

5. Hue Can Also Make a Big Impact

This example is also vibrant but notice how the hue makes a big difference. Hue refers to the color or shade. Orange is potentially warmer and sunnier than the purple example. Notice how playful this presentation is. While both this presentation and the previous one have vibrant PPT theme colors, the atmosphere is certainly different. Shape plays a big role here too. It might be easy to associate these shapes with oranges, for example.

How to Add or Change Themes in PowerPoint

Are you tired of using the same theme over and over again? Would you like to change the design? In this new Slidesgo School tutorial, you’ll learn how to add and change themes in PowerPoint .

Changing a Theme

Applying a new theme to selected slides only, importing a theme, editing the colors of the theme.

• Open your presentation in PowerPoint.
• On the Design tab, in the Themes group, select the theme that best fits your needs from the list. If you hover over any of them, you’ll see a preview. When you’re ready to continue, just click the theme. It will be applied to the entire presentation.

Please note that when you use a new theme in PowerPoint, since it is applied to all of the slides, the previous theme will be removed, unless it’s a PowerPoint default theme. In that case, you’ll find it on the list of default themes.

• Go to the Design tab.
• Select the slide whose theme you want to change. If you want to select several slides, just hold Ctrl/Cmd as you click them.
• Choose the theme you want to apply, right-click and select Apply to Selected Slides. Please note that if you change the general theme of the presentation later on, these slides will be affected too.
• On the Design tab, in the Themes group, click the drop-down arrow. Now click Browse for Themes. A new window will open, where you need to select the presentation that contains the theme you want to import.

Please note that the theme will be applied to all of the slides and any previous theme will be removed, unless it’s a default theme (in that case, you’ll find it on the list of default themes).

Depending on the theme, it could have color variations or different palette presets that you can choose to change the color of the elements in your presentation. Let’s see how we can edit the colors of a theme:

• Go to the Design tab. If the theme contains color variations, you’ll see them in the Variants group.
• If you want to change the color palette, click the Variants drop-down arrow, select Colors and choose any of the presets. If you want to apply a specific palette to the presentation, click Customize Colors. A new window will open, where you can select the colors that best suit your needs. You can see a little preview in the top-right corner of this window.
• To change the color of the background, click the Variants drop-down arrow and click Background Styles. You can choose any of the presets or click Format Background, where you’ll be able to use solid colors, gradients, images or patterns as background. If you choose to do it via Format Background, its panel will appear on the right side of the screen. To apply a custom background, click Apply to All. If you change the background using the Format Background options, all your background pictures will be removed.
• In the Variants group you’ll see other two options which allow you to modify the font of the presentation or the effects applied to the resources. Both of these options contain presets and, if you’re using the latest version of PowerPoint, you’ll see an additional option to customize the fonts or the styles.
