RE: Where can i find metallic colours for the text?

[Dawgma]

You can change the font color to whatever you like. You must be new to MS
Office (not just PowerPoint) to ask a question like that.

Just make a text box, right click, Format Text Box, and choose Color. It
will reveal a color pallette that you can choose any color from. If you
already have specific colors in mind, it would be worth finding out what the
color code is in RBG.. and then you can just type that into the color palette
and get the exact same color you want.

Hi Esther & welcome, dont worry even experts at powerpoint would have
problems getting a good metallic fill for text!

As above you can fill text with any solid colour, however no single colour
will look convincingly metallic. Best bet in powerpoint is to use word art
and in format > word art > colour go to fill effects and look at the preset
gradients where you will find gold, copper etc.

To be honest none of these is really that convincing but to do betteryou
will have to use a program like photoshop

Esther,
Colors such as Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze are denoted by hex, RGB, CMYK or
HSV value. If you know the correct value, you will be able to get the color
you want, for the exception that you will only be getting them in plain
colors. To further enhance them, you can try out Fill Effects which has been
mentioned above.

Here's a list of colors and the values at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors

Look for the colors names you want from Wikipedia, and check their RGB
values. Then, follow the steps Dawgma has given.

Dawgma, you condescending prick! I've worked in IT for over 20 years and there is no way in MS Office to include Powerpoint to get a realistic metallic colour. Don't be such a jerk when someone asks a question.

Dawgma, you must be new to helping people. Never put down a person for asking questions.

Esther, there isn't a way to make decent metallic text in powerpoint. You can use a metallic text generator and then insert the metallic text into your powerpoint slide. I use http://www.picturetopeople.org. It's free and offers dozens of textures and fonts. You can also use it to texturize images and make custom photo frames. There are hundreds of options. Your imagination is the limit. But first, you'll need to make a text box on your powerpoint slide: insert>text box. Make it any size you like. Then go to http://www.picturetopeople.org and create your metallic text. The process is easy and self explanatory. Be sure to save your metallic text as a .png file. This will make the background transparent. Then return to your powerpoint slide, click on the text box and insert your metallic text: insert>pictures>.png file name. Adjust the size if needed. Hope this helps.

Dawgma,

You must be new to this whole color thing, because it is RGB not RBG. For someone who believes they are all high and mighty you sure do not know your acronyms. So lets get off your high horse and actual useful member to answering questions. I believe Esther was wanting a metallic looking color for their powerpoint not just a flat look. In which there is no such thing as a metallic look in MS office.
