By default, Beamer uses the xcolor package, so you can immediately use any of xcolor‘s pre-defined colors. Choose from the list of known Beamer colors.However, only one color is needed for the usecolortheme method.
I suggest defining two colors for variety, where one is your primary and one is your secondary. The first decision is to pick a color(s). The second method takes a little bit of tinkering with setbeamercolor, but ultimately gives you much more control. The first method is very quick with usecolortheme. This post explains two ways to change Beamer colors by setting up your own custom color scheme. I didn’t want to tinker too much with the underpinnings of Beamer, but I found that the generally excellent official documentation lacked some direction about what color options I could change (beyond the basics).
UBC’s ECE department did not, so my quest for color began last year to replace a default Beamer blue with … UBC blue (believe me, it’s a different blue). Some institutions are fortunate to have their own (un)official Beamer theme with the institution’s colors. This can get tiring after watching three talks in a row by presenters who made their slides the night before and went with a default color scheme. There’s dark blue, light blue … the yellow one … some red. Frankfurt is also the name of a popular theme in the LaTeX document class Beamer, which is used for making presentations (not coincidentally, Beamer is the German word for projector).īeamer has a nice selection of themes with different layouts, but one downside is that the themes don’t offer many choices in terms of color. It’s the first city where I stayed in a Doppelzimmer mit Frühstück (double room with breakfast). Have you ever been to Frankfurt? I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Frankfurt a few times, albeit usually just through the airport.
