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.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Color Scheme drop-down on the Design tab in Presentation, supports preset schemes, and lets you use Custom Color before applying the result to the presentation. | Office themes support color sets, and Microsoft documents describe using Customize Colors to create custom theme colors. | Google Slides supports changing themes and editing theme colors through Slide > Edit theme > Colors. | Notion supports text color, block color, and background color styling, which is focused on page content styling rather than presentation-wide theme color schemes. | Adobe Acrobat help content covers app appearance and desktop preferences more than presentation theme color schemes. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry is directly aligned with presentation design work; you can choose a preset scheme first, then continue with custom colors and apply the result right away. | Compared with WPS: custom theme colors are available, but the official guidance is centered on the broader Office document theme system rather than a presentation color-scheme entry. | Compared with WPS: theme colors can also be edited, but the workflow is under Edit theme. | Compared with WPS: it is more suitable for highlighting and styling page content, not for a presentation-level theme color scheme workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official help is more focused on application appearance settings, which is a different use case from presentation color schemes. |
| Official Source | — | Change a theme and make it the default in Word or Excel | Use a Template or change the theme, background, or layout in Google Slides | Style & customize your page | Adobe Acrobat desktop help |
Overall Conclusion
WPS Color Scheme fits presentation editing workflows closely and is useful when you need to unify slide colors quickly. Compared with general theme settings or page styling tools, the entry is more direct for presentation color updates and the workflow is more concentrated.
