Attention!

For the function of replacing all colors in a presentation (on all slides or a part of slides) to work correctly, you need to use only colors from the Color Scheme palette in your presentation.

If some objects on the slide have colors outside of the Color Scheme palette applied, those colors will not be changed when the new Color Scheme is applied. This can be used if you want some objects not to change their color when changing the Color Scheme.

If you want to bring all the colors of your presentation in line with the Color Scheme and thereby make it possible to quickly replace all colors in the entire presentation or its part by replacing the Color Scheme, then you can use our service: we will manually check the colors of each object in your presentation and, if necessary, assign them colors from the Color Scheme palette.

How to Install Color Scheme XML Files on Your System

1. After you download the XML file(s) of the Color Scheme(s), select and copy all the XML file(s).

2. Go to the folder:

   2a. For Windows 8 and Windows 10 users:

      C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors

          –YourUserName – your username

          –If the AppData folder is not visible:

  1. Copy the entire line C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors
  2. Paste C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors in File Explorer
  3. Replace YourUserName with your username and press Enter

 

   2b. For Mac Office 2016 and later users:

   MacintoshHD\Users: YourUserName\Library\Group Containers\UBF8T346G9.ms\User Content\Themes\Theme Colors

            –YourUserName – your username

3. Paste the XML file(s) into the above folder.

What is the Color Scheme installed in the system?

The Color Scheme installed in the system is a color scheme that is always available on the device (desktop, laptop) on which you installed it. You can apply this Color Scheme to the entire presentation or to individual slides – the Color Scheme will become part of your presentation.

Do not confuse the installed in the system Color Scheme with the additional Color Scheme built into the presentation file.

The Color Scheme installed in the system is available only on the device (computer, laptop) on which it is installed. It can be applied to the presentation and thus it will be embedded in the presentation file. But the Color Scheme that is not applied to the presentation and installed in the system will not be available on another device (computer, laptop) in whose system it is not installed.

In the list of Color Schemes (Design/Variants/Colors…) built-in additional Color Schemes and installed in the system Color Schemes are shown in different sections:

Built-in additional Color Schemes in the “This presentation” section.

Installed Color Schemes in the “Custom” section.

If you want to built-in an additional Color Scheme from our catalog into your presentation, you can purchase them here. Detailed instructions for built-in an additional Color Scheme into your presentation are in the description for each Color Scheme that is located here.

Attention! A quick change to the Color Scheme in the entire presentation will only work if only the colors from the Color Scheme palette are applied to all the slides in the presentation and in all layouts of the template to all objects. If you use colors other than the Color Scheme palette, these colors will not change when you apply a different Color Scheme. Use this method if you don’t want the colors of some objects to change when applying the Color Scheme.

1. On the ribbon, select the “Design” tab

2. Go to the “Variants” area

3. Click on the dropdown button

4. In the drop-down list, move the cursor to “Colors”.

5a. If you need to change the colors in the entire presentation, then in the appeared list of Color Schemes in the “This presentation” section, select the Color Scheme by clicking the left mouse button.

5b. If you need to change the colors on one or several slides (they must be preselected), then in the appeared list of Color Schemes in the “This presentation” section, select a Color Scheme and right-click on its name. In the context menu that appears, select “Apply to Selected Slides”.

NeedSlide Color Scheme

The NeedSlide Color Schemes are composed of 8 colors.

There are 12 colors in the Presentation Color Scheme, but 4 of them remain unchanged in our Color Schemes:

1. Background 1 – with rare exceptions, it is always white in our Color Schemes (not system). It is possible to replace it with a system one if you want Variants to be available.
2. Text 1 – with rare exceptions, it is always black in our Color Schemes (not system). It is possible to replace it with a system one if you want Variants to be available.
  3. Hyperlink – no different from the standard (system).

4. Followed Hyperlink – no different from the standard (system).

Any NeedSlide Color Scheme uses and varies the following colors:

1. Background 2 – used as an auxiliary light background, to highlight text inserts, as an auxiliary accent, etc.
2. Text 2 – used as an auxiliary dark background, auxiliary text color, etc.
3. Accent 1 – used as one of the usual accents or as one of the monochrome shades in the Color Scheme, or as one of the two accents in Diverging Color Schemes in the “Maps” section, etc.
4. Accent 2 – used as one of the usual accents or as one of the shades of monochrome color in the Color Scheme in the sections “Maps”, “Business & Consulting”, etc.
5.  Accent 3 – used as one of the usual accents or as one of the shades of monochrome color in the Color Scheme in the sections “Maps”, “Business & Consulting”, etc.
6. Accent 4 – used as one of the usual accents or as one of the shades of monochrome color in the Color Scheme in the sections “Maps”, “Business & Consulting”, etc.
7. Accent 5 – used as one of the usual accents or as one of the shades of monochrome color in the Color Scheme in the “Maps”, “Business & Consulting” sections, etc., or as the main accent in some of the Color Schemes in the “Business & Consulting” section, etc.
8. Accent 6 – used as one of the usual accents or as the main accent in some Color Schemes of the “Business & Consulting” section, etc.

Basic principles of creating NeedSlide Color Schemes

We’re excited to introduce the NeedSlide Color Schemes! We consider our Color Schemes in terms of their set of parameters, if not the best, then some of the best that can be found anywhere.

NeedSlide color schemes were created primarily for business use. Therefore, among them, there are many Color Schemes that create associations with severity, simplicity, laconicism, and solidity. In particular, these include Color Schemes with monochrome colors – many colors of the same tone and 1-2 main accents. Such Color Schemes are not only very fashionable now (although we used them 10-15 years ago), but they also create a strict, laconic, and business-like image of the presentation. Among our Color Schemes, there are many traditional palettes, similar in construction to standard (system) palettes – with many different accents.

Both of these Color Schemes are easy to apply in any environment and with any presentation requirements. For example, if your monochrome Color Scheme lacks colors, you can use translucency for expansion – each color in our Color Schemes was tested to be able to use translucency and at the same time blend harmoniously with other colors. Also, the visual distinguishability of shades of the same color was visually checked, including when using translucency.

Moreover, in many of our monochrome Color Schemes, a small trick is used to increase the number of accents while maintaining the monochrome Scheme – although the color of Text 1 looks close to black, with an increase in brightness, this color can become an additional accent – all this is clearly visible in the palette.

All primary colors (Accent 1 to Accent 6) in our Color Schemes are selected so that they can be easily applied with light or dark gradients. You won’t find a base color in our Color Schemes that you can’t apply a dark gradient to, which is often the case in other color schemes.

Due to these and other parameters, excellent practicality and ease of use of the NeedSlide Color Schemes are achieved.

A small touch that emphasizes the thoroughness of the choice of colors and the focus on the practicality and convenience of working with our Color Schemes: the RGB values ​​of all colors are rounded to tens, i.e. the last digit in the value is always 0. The rounding of values ​​is almost invisible visually, but it gives a significant advantage when editing the colors of the Color Scheme – such values ​​are much easier for the user to remember.

NeedSlide color schemes are categorized and each category has its own characteristics. But in one thing they are one – they apply in almost all situations. But other than that they are great for use for educational purposes, entertainment purposes, and many other areas.

It is worth noting here that a lot depends on which colors are applied to specific objects. With the same Color Scheme, you can get very different presentation colors. And this also has its own versatility.

As mentioned above, in Color Schemes for business purposes, we often use a monochrome combination. In addition, other combinations are used in the NeedSlide Color Schemes: Complementary (Dual), Analogous, Triadic, and Tetradic. The features of cold and warm colors are taken into account, as well as hue, saturation, luminance, and much more.

In any case, you can be sure that no color in the NeedSlide Color Schemes came about by accident, that each color was reasonably selected. We are confident that working with our Color Schemes will increase your efficiency and will be of great benefit to you.

Features of some NeedSlide Color Schemes

  1. “Business & Consulting”

This section uses mostly monochrome combinations with one (usually “Business”) or two (usually “Consulting”) accents. There are also several Color Schemes with traditional (system) color combinations.

  1. “Maps”

This section applies three types of Color Schemes for maps: Sequential, Diverging, and Qualitative.

Sequential – In this scheme, colors are used to represent quantitative or ordinal values. We use both monochrome schemes and part-spectral schemes.

Diverging – This scheme actually uses two sequential schemes to emphasize extreme values ​​at both high and low levels.

Qualitative – in this scheme, colors are used to display data that does not have a quantitative, ordinal, or fractional value, but has qualitative (entity) values.

In addition, we are pleased to present to you several classic Color Schemes for maps.

  1. Other Categories of Color Schemes

These Color Schemes have been created based on characteristic photographs and illustrations in the relevant theme. After defining the primary colors, each such Color Scheme was manually edited with additional colors added.
