Remember the old way of adding a Custom Colors section to PowerPoint? It often involved a complicated process of hacking XML files, unzipping presentations, and manually editing code.
Fast forward to today, and AI ๐ค has completely changed the game.
Iโve been exploring a workflow using ChatGPT-5 that makes this once-tedious task incredibly simple.
Hereโs how it works:
โณ You provide a list of your Hex color codes to generate the necessary XML code.
โณ You can then upload your presentation and have the AI insert the custom color theme directly into the file for you.What used to take deep technical know-how now takes just two simple prompts. In the final file, your new palette appears perfectly in a dedicated โCustom Colorsโ section within the Shape Fill menu. This is a fantastic example of how AI is streamlining our workflows.
