Creating a color scheme around a logo in PowerPoint

I have put up a YouTube video explaining one of the easiest ways of assigning a color palette to a PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint comes loaded with a wide variety of color schemes, and many of them would work fine if you were starting with a completely blank slate. However, most presentations have a company logo that needs to be featured prominently on all the slides. And well established companies may have a corporate palette, which means their color scheme is pretty well set. However, if the logo is the only element you have to dictate color, there’s an easy way to use those exact colors to customize charts, graphs or any artwork you create for the PowerPoint template. The example I use on the YouTube video demonstrates an exercise using a three-color logo (blue, green and yellow). That doesn’t mean you need to stop there with your color palette. You can match the colors exactly, as shown in the video, or you can vary the colors by turning them into gradated colors. For example, a bar chart using a dark blue from the logo might look even cooler if the bar had a subtle gradation to it; say 100% blue on one end of the bar and 50% blue on the other end. You could also create a gradation using two of the colors from the logo, such as blue and green. As one color merges into the other, a third color is created in the middle that is a beautiful shade of aqua. And because it’s part of the same logo-color family, chances are it will blend in very well with the rest of the presentation.You can view the YouTube video by clicking on the link that follows.
