About This Feature

Overview

Color Scheme is a built-in design feature in WPS Presentation for Windows that helps you change the overall color combination of a presentation.

Core tasks include:

  • Choose a preset color scheme: switch the overall page color style quickly.
  • Customize colors: adjust individual color items and create a new color combination.
  • Apply the scheme to the current presentation: update objects that use theme colors.

It is useful for class slides, brand color alignment, and presentation refreshes.

It helps reduce repeated page-by-page color edits and lets you adjust the overall visual style without changing other theme elements.

A direct entry is available on the Design tab, where you can apply a preset scheme first and then continue with custom colors.
