Color Palette

[Tony Tyner]

Hi All,

My company is going through a new branding initiative and
as part of that we have developed a Color Palette with 24
colors. I have created a slide with 24 boxes with the rgb
values listed and the color appearing in each box. I
wanted to simplify this and wondered if there is anyway to
create a palette with 24 colors? Any add-in that anybody
knows of?

Thanks,

Tony

Brian Reilly and I wrote an add-in to help cope with the fact that you can't
have more than 8 colors on a normal PPT palette.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality (color schemes or custom
palettes of more than 8 colors) that you are looking for without resorting
to VBA or add-ins.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
