Changing text color in Google Slides is a simple process that allows you to customize the appearance of your slides.

Quick Steps to Change Text Color

To quickly change text color in Google Slides, follow these easy steps:

  1. Select the text: Highlight the specific text you want to change or click on the text box containing the text.
  2. Find the color tool: In the toolbar at the top, locate the "Text color" icon.
  3. Choose your color: Click the icon and select a color from the options provided.

Detailed Guide: Changing Text Color

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the process, ensuring you can easily update the look of your presentations:

  1. Select the Text:

    • You can change the color of all the text within a text box by clicking on the border of the text box itself.
    • Alternatively, as mentioned in the reference, you can select just a part of the text within a text box if you only want to change the color of specific words or sentences. Simply click and drag your cursor over the text you wish to modify.
  2. Locate the Text Color Option:

    • Once your text is selected, look at the toolbar usually found just above your slide.
    • According to the reference, you need to locate the “Text color” option. This icon is typically represented by a capital letter "A" with a colored line underneath it. It is located next to other text formatting options like font style, font size, bold, italic, and underline.
    • Click on it to open the color palette.
  3. Select a Color:

    • A dropdown menu will appear, displaying a range of colors.
    • Select any of the colors listed in the palette.
    • Google Slides offers theme colors, standard colors, and often a custom color option where you can use a hex code or color picker for more precise selection.

By following these steps, you can effectively change the color of your text, helping to emphasize points, improve readability, and enhance the overall visual appeal of your Google Slides presentation.

For instance, if you want to highlight a key phrase, you could select just that phrase and change its color to red or blue to make it stand out from the rest of the text.

Applying different text colors can significantly impact the visual hierarchy and aesthetics of your slides.
