The course I am working on already has a color scheme in the slide master. However, I need to change the color scheme to be more on brand. I created the color scheme and tried to "apply it to Slide Master" but none of the colors changed. How do I update the color scheme in the currently existing slide master?
Open the file for which you would like to change the theme for (not the template or the master)
Click Design>Colors>Create New Theme Color
Use the dropdowns to adjust your colors to meet your brand requirements
Type a Name in the Name field
Click Save
The color theme will now be applied to the current project and there will be a custom color theme when you open Design>Colors for this project and for future projects.
I already created a New Theme Color and unfortunately, even though it is selected in the project, it isn't applied anywhere. I assumed that was because the project is working off a slide master, which had a different color scheme before I got my hands on it.
John, as it turns out, the color changes were being reflected in the slide master, but certain slides in the course were edited on the slides themselves, so any color theme applied to the master was being overridden. Thank you very much for your input and help!

This is how I make and apply color themes.

I hope this helps.
Hi John,

Interesting. I have never experienced that issue.
I wish I could have been more helpful. I am going to continue to follow this thread because I am very curious.
