How to add hex codes in Powerpoint
I am doing tonnes of work on Powerpoint using brand colours. I am finding every time I am making a slide I have to manually go in and type the hex code. I know you can add custom colours and set themes but this is not what I want to do. I do not want the slide changing automatically. Is there any solution of where I can add the hex codes so I can literally save the colour and click on the colour once to add a certain brand colour to an element or text?
- Simply enter the hex code without the hash symbol into the text box provided.
- Configuring the colors on the Slide Master will save you heaps of time in the long run. These configurations will be available each time you create a new deck. Before you begin, it will help to have your brand fonts and colors (RGB or Hex codes) handy.
Step 1: Open a new presentation.
Step 2: Select: View → Slide Master
Step 3: Select: Colors
Step 4: Select: Customize Colors
Step 5: Name your color palette
Step 6: Select a Background or Accent color (A-1 through A-6) to edit
Step 7: Select More Colors
Step 8: Enter the Hex or RGB code and press OK
◼ The first four background colors effect the pre-formatted Background Styles. Using black for Dark 1 & white for Light 1 is usually a good idea. The other two can be flexible.
◻ Accents 1-6 will be available for use on the Layouts and front facing slides. These should be set as your primary brand colors.
Step 9: Repeat for all six Accents and select Save
