Color Scheme
• Every presentation you create with Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2003, even a blank one, has a set of colors
associated with it.
• This color scheme consists of eight complementary
colors designed to be used for the various elements of a
slide—background, text, lines, shadows, fills, and
accents
1. Colors used for title text and body text
2. Colors used for background, fills, and shadows
3. Colors used for hyperlinks, fills, and accents such as bullets

Switching to a Different Color
Scheme
• Each PowerPoint color
scheme consists of a
palette of eight colors.
• These eight colors
correspond to the
following elements in a
presentation:
– The Background color is
used for the “canvas” of the
slide. All other colors must
show up against it.
– The “Text and lines” color
must contrast with the
background color so that
the text shows up clearly.

Switching to a Different Color
Scheme
– The Shadows color is
generally a darker shade of
the background so that it
produces a shadowed
effect behind objects.
– The “Title text” color must
also contrast with the
background color because
the slide titles need to
stand out.
– The Fill color is used to fill
objects and must contrast
with both the background
color and the color used for
text and lines.

Coloring and Shading a Slide

slide by adding a color, a

visual effect in which a solid
color gradually changes from
light to dark or dark to light.
