When you’ve got the Customize Colors pop up open, you can add 4 different text and background colors, 6 accent colors, and 2 hyperlink colors using RGB or HEX codes. The first 10 on the list are those visible in the Theme Colors menu. If you’ve got a corporate color palette, don’t make your primary color one of the top four colors as those are reserved for text/backgrounds. Instead, pop your primary colors in the accent slots. Accent colors are used for graphs and Smart Art. A couple of things to think about here:
Accent 1 is the default color for Smart Art. As the default font color for Smart Art is white, you’ll be heading straight for a color contrast nightmare if you use anything too light for Accent 1.
Graphs take colors in the order of the accents (1,2,3,4 etc.) as you can see in the previews below. Keep in mind which colors work well next to each other as you assign the accent order.
