❓ FAQs
What makes a good black presentation template?
Consistent dark backgrounds, readable type scales, and strong contrast. Use light text, accent colors for emphasis, and ample spacing to keep slides clean.
Black & white vs black with accent colors?
Black & white is timeless and minimal. Adding accents (gold, red, yellow) helps guide attention and highlight KPIs, calls to action, or key milestones.
How do I set a black background in PowerPoint or Google Slides?
In PowerPoint, go to Design → Format Background or edit the Slide Master. In Google Slides, use Slide → Change background… or adjust the Theme to apply it across the deck.
Are there templates for specific events like Black History Month?
Yes—use respectful imagery, accessible contrast, and a clear message. You can start from a black theme here and tailor content, or explore dedicated event templates.
