Hey gang,

I want to share a neat tip with you for creating custom color tints and shades using PowerPoint.

Typically, a color palette begins with a single base color. Then, you broaden the range of that color with tints and shades to create your color palette. This template will help you quickly create those tints and shades.

For the most part, tints are made by adding white to the base color. The more white you add, the lighter you make your base. Shades, on the other hand, are created by adding black to your base color. The more black you add, the darker your base.

I set up this simple template in PowerPoint to help you create tints and shades from a single base color. Here's a quick overview of how the template works:

Can you take a look at this template, play around with it, and let me know what you think? I'm sure you’ll have some ways to make this even more usable, but I wanted to push this out to you guys and get your feedback.

Thanks!
