Lots of research has been done around the human reaction to colour, so if you’re really serious about the impact of colour it is well worth looking in to. Personally, I just try to keep it simple and follow a few basic guidelines.
Here are some of the things I bear in mind:
- Make use of the PowerPoint themes – they are designed around colours that work well together.
- Think about the message that the presentation has to communicate – is it formal, exciting, serious, fun? Look into what colours would help convey this.
- If you have access to the projector that you will connected to, check how the colours look when shown on a big screen.
- Even if you are not restricted to a company template, make sure the colours used compliment the brand.
- Lots of bright white slides can be a strain on the eyes – go for a more subdued background.
