How to work with the Color Pane

Introduction #

With the color pane you can easily access your corporate colors and theme colors and apply them to the Font, Fill, and Outline of your shapes.

Apply Colors #

To apply colors, simply select your PowerPoint shape and click on the desired color in the color pane.

Default Colors #

By default, the colors that are visible in the color pane are the theme colors of your current PowerPoint presentation. The theme colors can be changed in the Slide Master of your presentation: View --> Slide Master --> Colors --> Customize Colors


Custom Colors #

Custom colors can be defined in a separate xml file. To use custom colors, simply place the xml in your company shared location (if you have one) or place it in your local appdata folder %LocalAppData%\bkt solutions\presentaid
