A custom color theme defines specific colors for each of the 12 color placeholders (including the two that you can’t directly use—the ones for hyperlinks). To create a custom color theme, first apply a theme to the current presentation that is as close as possible to the theme you want. This makes it easier because you have to redefine fewer placeholders. Then follow these steps:

1. On the Design tab, open the Colors list and choose Create New Theme Colors. The Create New Theme Colors dialog box opens.
2. Type a name for the new color theme in the Name box, replacing the default name (Custom 1, or other number if there is already a Custom 1).
3. Click a color placeholder and open its menu. See Figure 22-12.
4. Click a color. Alternatively, you can click More Colors, select a color from the Colors dialog box (Figure 22-13), and click OK. The Colors dialog box has two tabs: The Standard tab has color swatches, and the Custom tab enables you to define a color numerically by its RGB (Red Green Blue) or HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness).
5. (Optional) Click the Preview button to see the effect of the change on the current slide.
6. Redefine any other colors as needed.
7. Click Save. The color scheme is saved, and now appears at the top of the Colors gallery, in the Custom area.
