Changing theme colors and fonts

Themes include settings for colors and fonts. A theme’s color scheme affects most elements on your slide, including background, text, and graphics. Theme colors provide sets of colors that work well together, so the slides within your presentation maintain not only an attractive look, but a cohesive one, as well. Theme fonts include settings for heading and body fonts. When you apply a theme, it contains a preset color scheme and fonts, but you can change the theme colors and theme fonts to give your slides a different look.
