Change the colour of Beamer slides

kip to end of metadata

Beamer has a few built in colour schemes which it is relatively easy to switch between.

In the preamble add the line

\usecolortheme[named=xxx]{structure}

where xxx is one of the following

• red
• green
• blue
• cyan
• magenta
• yellow
• black
• darkgray
• gray
• lightgray
• orange
• violet
• purple
• brown

Alternatively you can define your own colour scheme using the following code before the above line

\definecolor{colourname}{rgb}{.125,.5,.25}

where 0.125 is the intensity of red, 0.5 is the intensity of green and 0.25 is the intensity of blue. Then replace xxx with colourname in the \usecolortheme command
