Color Schemes

Each theme ships with alternate color schemes. Add the number after the theme name:

theme: Nordic, 3

Here’s Nordic in three different schemes:

Per-Slide Colors

Override colors on any individual slide with directives:

slide.md

[.background-color: #0a192f]
[.header: #64ffda]
[.text: #8892b0]

# Custom Colors

Custom heading and text colors per slide.

The override works with any theme and takes priority over the scheme’s default background.

Accent Colors

Bold text (**word**) in headings uses the theme’s accent color. Inline code uses monospace with accent styling. Strikethrough (~~text~~) also picks up the accent.

slide.md

# Accent Colors

Words in **bold** get the theme's accent color automatically.

This works with **Nordic**, **Keynote**, and other themes that enable accent bold.

Alternating Colors

Add [.alternating-colors: true] to color alternating paragraphs in main and accent colors.

slide.md

[.alternating-colors: true]

What drives **innovation**?

Is it **necessity** or **curiosity**?

The answer shapes our **approach**.
