Hi,

I am looking for colors that punch or that have some depth to them.

especially gold, marron, and burgurandy.....the kind of colors you see on
expensive gift wrapping paper at christmas time!

I've tried using the color wheel (PP 2003) but no avail. I usually get a
flat 2 dementional color with no "pop" or richness to them.

please advise.....any help would be appreciated

thanks
bob
 
A lot of powerpoint objects support fill effects. Get a photo of the
color/texture you want to use (many online sources where you can get it for a
buck) then use the pattern from the photo as a fill effect on your object.

Thanks,

but how about also, those colors for text....would that not be to memory
intensive?
 
Thanks.

but how about i just wanted those colors for plain old body text and not
"word art"?
 
Thanks,

But, then how do i get the true color gold that will "pop" for my text?

thanks

When you look at it carefully, there really is no true gold color. Gold is
reflective, so it's the combination of its natural color and the way it
reflects what's around it that determines what gold looks like.

That's why any single color you pick from the color picker in PPT looks flat.

But try using Word Art instead of plain text. Insert, Picture, Word Art ...

Then you can rightclick it and pick Format Word Art and assign various gradient
fills (or even a picture fill)
