Creating a Color Scheme You may like a certain color scheme except for one or two colors. You can change an existing color scheme and apply your changes to the entire presentation or to just a few slides. Once you create this new color scheme, you can add it to your collection of color schemes so that you can make it available to any slide in the presentation.
