What are the best background and text colors for a PowerPoint presentation?

High contrast background colors are the best. These colors are easily visible to the audience and aid in communication. Use light, white text, and bright colors; on light backgrounds, use a dark or black color. It makes the graphs or shapes on each slide visible to the audience, and they can read the text. Avoid using color gradients. 

To improve accessibility, don’t use 100% pure white or pure black. Instead, opt for a lesser percentage of contrasty solid colors, making it much more comfortable reading the slides in dark room presentations.
