Use the Eyedropper in PowerPoint

Once you’ve inserted a shape, you’ll probably want to change the style, fill color, outline, and effects applied to it.

A shape style is a set of different formatting commands that can be applied to a shape in a single step.

Select the shape.
Click the Format tab on the ribbon.
Click the More button in the Shape Styles gallery.
Choose a style.
Click the Quick Styles button in the Drawing group on the Home tab and select a style.

If you don’t like any of the premade shape styles, you can edit the fill, outline, and shape effects.

Select the shape.
Use the tools in the Shape Styles group to modify the shape style.
- Shape Fill: Adjust the color, picture, gradient, or texture inside the shape.
- Shape Outline: Adjust the color and weight of the shape’s border.
- Shape Effects: Add or remove more complicated effects like glow and bevel.
