Create Color Schemes

Having trouble choosing the right color scheme for your PowerPoint presentation? This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a good color scheme by using a few tools.

First we need an online color scheme generator. There are a few available online, Color Scheme Designer is what we used in this tutorial.

Color Scheme Designer

• Simply pick the color scheme you want by choosing color options and tweaking the hue circle

• When you are satisfied with the setting. Hit print screen and capture the new color scheme

Eyedropper Tool

• Launch any vector graphics software with eyedropper tool (e.g., Adobe Illustrator)

Prepare Objects to Fill Colors

• Paste the screenshot we just captured and then create several rectangles, depending on how many
  colors you need for the color scheme

Pick Colors Using the Eyedropper Tool

• Select one of the rectangles and use the eyedropper tool to copy the color. When done select the
  next one and repeat the process until you have got all the colors you need

Paste Special

• Select all rectangles and press copy, then go to PowerPoint and click Edit > Paste Special

Enhanced Meta File

• Choose Picture (Enhanced Metafile)

• Ungroup the image we just pasted into PowerPoint

Get the RBG Code

• Get rid of the invisible shape after ungrouping, then double click one of the rectangles and choose
  "Color" > "More Colors", get the RGB code and type it somewhere on the slide for later use

Repeat Until You have all the RGB Codes

• Repeat the process until you have all the RGB codes

• Right click anywhere on slide area and select "Slide Design", then go to "Edit Color Schemes" at the
  bottom of the PowerPoint Window

Incorporate the Color Scheme to PowerPoint

  color combination
