Yesterday I learned that my RAs didn't know how to change the color themes in excel - so they were stuck using the boring old DEFAULT excel colors. What a travesty! What are they teaching kids in school these days - cursive??? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
I thought I'd share here how to change the colors so your @Microsoft stuff can be prettier.
See that boringly colored graph? We are going to change that to be way prettier. First go to page layout. You then have two options - colors and themes. 
When you choose themes, you get an array of different options!
Here I chose Ion Board (yeah, no clue) which gives a lovely array of pinks and peach. One challenge with themes though is the fonts and other styles can change. (see the font in the chart title).
Choosing a color scheme just affects the colors. Here I chose green yellow and it is a lovely array!
This is slipstream and this picture shows you all the colors and the possible shades. So much better than the microsoft default!
You can do this same thing in powerpoint and in word. #nomoreboringcolors #defaultnomore
