Change the color of each slide in a theme. Solved

Question

Hello, I need to make a presentation for young children. I chose a theme that I like with a fairly colorful "header," but I want to make sure that this header has a different color on each slide. I tried using a master slide, but the color applies to all slides (which I don't want; I want one slide green, one blue, one pink, etc...). I attempted to add sections thinking I could personalize certain sections, but to no avail... I tried copying and pasting slides from one PowerPoint to another without success either; the slide color adapts to the theme used. How could I do this? I sincerely hope someone can help me :)  Configuration: Windows / Chrome 54.0.2840.99

Hello, you can also right-click on each slide/Format Background/Fill, and there you have the choice of multiple solid colors, gradients, textures, and even images or photos -- A+ Mike-31 Not knowing is not a failure, failure is the refusal to learn.

Hello; I am not a very great specialist in PowerPoint, but it seems to me that it's possible to color each slide using the fill function where you can insert the desired color as you add slides (version used Office Pro 2016) See example in the screenshot below  A+ for your comments Best regards Aging well:  It's to prefer the time that remains to the time that passes

Hello. A template is meant to achieve a consistent formatting throughout the presentation. So you'll have to do without a template and follow jmarion3's advice. -- Retirement is great! Especially in the Caribbean... :-) Raymond (INSA, AFPA, CF/R)

Hi Jmarion, this option has existed since several versions but its access path is different like for all applications. For example, for PowerPoint 2003 right-click on the slide/Background/choose the fill color or pattern and click on Apply to all to color all slides or just click Apply to apply the coloring to the active slide. Have a nice day -- See you Mike-31 Not knowing is not a failure, failure is the refusal to learn.

Thanks, everyone, for your help. I think I'm going to forget about the theme idea and make my own "headers" so that I can change the color.

Hello Ow; Thank you for the feedback >> I think it's the best solution, maybe a bit longer but it aligns with what you want to do! -- best regards Aging well: It's to prefer the time that remains over the time that passes

Hello, For your information, PowerPoint does not prohibit a multi-color theme. In the master slide, you just need to create layouts, choosing a different color for each of them. Then, in the presentation, when inserting a new slide, you select its format. This is interesting if you want to use the same color repeatedly. If ALL slides need to be a different color, it’s better to do it manually for each one. m@rina -- Beware of herbal tea: it’s a dangerous poison...
