Choose presentation colors, fonts, and transitions

Give your presentation a consistent look by choosing its colors, typography, and transitions in the Style panel. These settings apply across the deck, making it easy to establish a visual direction before you fine-tune individual slides.

Open a deck in the editor and select Style, represented by a brush in the right-hand toolbar. Your choices are previewed on the presentation as you make them. Select Save to apply the changes.

Color presets

Color presets coordinate the presentation background, text, and accent colors. Individual slide backgrounds, block colors, and custom CSS can override the preset where you need more control.
