Change slide color in PowerPoint

1. In PowerPoint, click the "Design" tab and then select the "Format background" button on the far right.
2. Then a small menu opens on the right side. "Single color fill" must be activated here.
3. Now you can choose a foil color next to "Color". To do this, click on the paint bucket.
4. Below you can still set the transparency.
5. If you want all slides to have this color, click on the "Apply to everyone" button at the bottom.
