# PPTX Color Palettes

18 curated palettes. Use as inspiration — adapt or create your own based on subject matter, industry, mood, and brand.

## Choosing Colors

- **Think beyond defaults**. What colors genuinely match this specific topic?
- **Consider angles**: topic, industry, mood, energy, audience, brand (if mentioned).
- **Be adventurous**. Healthcare doesn't have to be green, finance doesn't have to be navy.
- **3–5 colors per palette**: dominant + supporting + accent.
- **Verify contrast**. Text must be clearly readable on backgrounds.
