Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize hyperlink colors in your PowerPoint slides.

Quick summary

Changing the link color in PowerPoint lets you customize how hyperlinks appear across your entire presentation theme. This is done through the Design tab by editing the Variants color settings and selecting a new Hyperlink color.


Steps

  1. Open your PowerPoint presentation, go to the top menu bar, and click Design.
  2. Navigate to the Variants section and click its corresponding drop-down arrow.
  3. Hover your mouse cursor over the Colors option in the dropdown menu.
  4. Select Customize Colors from the list of options.
  5. Find the Hyperlink row and click the colored box beside it.
  6. Pick the new color you wish to apply to your hyperlinks.
  7. Click Save to apply the new color changes to your presentation.
  8. Your link color will now be updated throughout the PowerPoint presentation.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling hyperlink color in PowerPoint is essential for maintaining consistent, on-brand presentations. By customizing the link color through the Design tab's Variants and Colors settings, users can ensure that hyperlinks match their company's color palette rather than defaulting to the standard blue. This feature matters for professionals who share polished slide decks with clients or stakeholders, where visual consistency directly impacts brand credibility. PowerPoint's built-in theme color customization makes it easy to apply a new hyperlink color globally across an entire presentation in just a few clicks.
