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 them...
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
â—¼ 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.
â—» 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
