What is a PowerPoint theme?

- A theme is a predefined set of colors, fonts, and visual effects that you apply to your slides for a unified, professional look.

- Using a theme gives your presentation a harmonious appearance with minimal effort. For example:

When you add graphics (tables, shapes, and so on) to your slides, PowerPoint applies theme colors that are compatible with other slide elements.

- Dark-colored text is shown on a light background (and vice versa), so that contrast is strong for ease of reading.
