Changing Background Color
In most cases, you won't want to change the background color of your slides. Instead, you'll rely on the professionally designed themes that come with PowerPoint, which coordinate text and background color and effects into an aesthetically pleasing package.
Of course, there's an exception or two to every rule. In the case of background color, one exception to the don't-change-it rule is when you need to match your presentation to a specific (non-PowerPoint) corporate or organizational palette, such as the one your Marketing department uses for brochures and four-color ads.
