Choose the shape of your preference

Click on the shape you want to modify
The shape will be outlined with small blue boxes, indicating that it is selected. If you have multiple shapes on the slide, be sure to click on the specific shape whose color you wish to change

After selecting the shape, look at the toolbar at the top of your screen
You will see a small icon that looks like a paint bucket—this is the "Fill color" button. Click on this icon to open the color selection menu. This is where you can choose from a range of color options to apply to your shape

In the Fill color menu, you will see a variety of color options.
You can choose a predefined color, or if you prefer a custom shade, you can select Custom at the bottom of the color selection panel. This will open a color wheel or a set of RGB values where you can fine-tune the exact color you want

If you also want to change the border or outline of the shape, follow these steps:
- With the shape still selected, look for the "Border color" button on the toolbar (it looks like a pencil).
- Click this button to open the color menu for the border.
- Select the color you want for the border. You can apply a standard or custom color just like you did with the fill color.
