SlideMagic uses a simple colour scheme: (just) one distinct accent colour and lots of shades of white/grey/black.

What are good accent colours?

• One that stands out

• (This is the tricky bit):

  • One with good contrast with white

  • One with good contrast with black

• One that fits with your brand and/or industry, or the opposite one that really sets you apart from everyone else in your industry if that is what you want to do.

• One that you like

People often forget about number 2, which cuts off a lot of creative possibilities with your design
