Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for coloring objects and text.

You change individual colors by choosing from the Color menu. The submenu shows your currently chosen color scheme. You can also use colors not on the menu by choosing Other on the submenu. Select multiple objects to change all their colors at once.

For example:

To change the color of the fill from red to blue, select the object, choose Fill from the Color menu, then choose the color blue from the submenu. Only the fill changes. The other attributes remain their original colors.

To change all of the colors at the same time, change the color scheme. Changing the color scheme provides you with a new set of color choices. Applying the new scheme to a slide changes all of the colors to the new ones. The change is relative to the position on the scheme. So, if the first color on the scheme was red, and it is blue on the new scheme, all reds on the slide become blue.
