Word 2010 wishy-washy font colours

Post by John Gray »

I've probably missed it, but how do you get the "standard colours" to look like those which were available in Word 2003 and previous?

Specifically I am trying to find a quick way of getting (0,0,255), Royal Blue, but it is not in the Theme Colours or Standard Colours, and has to be chosen from the More Colours palette.

Same applies to Red (255,0,0), Green (0,255,0), Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and so on...

You can create your own theme with primary colours:
Activate the Page Layout tab.
In the Themes group, click Colors > Create New Theme Colors.
Best wishes,
Hans
