Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make the background dark in PowerPoint?

Dark backgrounds can make your presentation easier on the eyes, especially if your text is light. To make your background dark in PowerPoint, go to Design > Format Background. Select a dark background color, such as black or brown, for your slide. To remove background formatting, select No Fill.

How can you change the color in your presentation without changing the design?

Find the Design tab, then select Variants, Colors, Customize Colors. You can then choose from 12 featured theme colors. To locate the exact shade you want, select More Colors. Once you make your selection, the basic design and layout of your presentation will stay the same but the elements will change their tone.

How do you change the slide color to dark in PowerPoint?

To change the background color of a slide to a darker color, hit the Design tab, select Background, choose Solid Fill, then pick the color you want from the gallery. If you want all of your slides to have a dark background, click on the Design tab, select Background, then Apply to All.
