PowerPoint default colours

[Guest]

Hi

I am designing a new PowerPoint template for my organisation and want to
permanently put our brand colours into the options for fill, line and text. I
also want to have this set of colours permanently designated for charts and
graphs etc.

Is this possible? Is there a master setting for colours and will any changes
be permanent and can I even disable the option for users to select new
colours when using my template?

I am a graphic designer with over 10 years experience and am a fairly
skilled PPT user so please don't reply just telling me how to change a colour

In a very limited way. I'd definitely explore color schemes, per the link

The scheme acts as a kind of master setting that determines the default color
for backgrounds, text, drawn shapes and so on. Users can still apply other
colors or even edit the color scheme if they know how to find it. There's not
much you can do to prevent that. They don't let us do the "head on pike to put
fear into the others" thing nowadays, so fear (aka "The Stick") is out.

"The Carrot" though ... that can be useful. Make it easy to do what you want
and people will generally go along with you. Pre-setting the scheme colors is a
start. Custom-written add-ins can give you lots more control/flexibility.
