When you import a PowerPoint presentation, Scoop automatically analyzes its colors and generates matching themes for your data visualizations. This ensures your charts and graphs harmonize with your existing design without manual color matching.

How AI Color Themes Work

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. IMPORT                                                   │
│    Upload PowerPoint → Scoop analyzes colors, fonts        │

│ 2. ANALYZE                                                  │
│    AI extracts color palette using color theory            │

│ 3. GENERATE                                                 │
│    Creates two matching themes:                            │
│    - Standard (subtle, professional)                       │
│    - Bold (higher contrast, impactful)                     │

What Gets Analyzed

Scoop examines your presentation to extract:

Element	How It's Used
Background colors	Base palette derivation
Text colors	Contrast calculations
Accent colors	Chart highlights and emphasis
Theme colors	Primary palette foundation
Graphics colors	Secondary palette elements

Generated Themes

For each imported presentation, Scoop generates two AI color themes:

Standard Theme

Subtle, professional appearance
Lower contrast for understated visuals
Works well for detailed data displays
Ideal for executive presentations

Bold Theme

Higher contrast colors
More impactful visual presence
Better for large displays
Ideal for presentations to larger audiences

Using AI Themes

In Explorer

When creating visualizations:

Open Explorer with your dataset
Create your chart or table
Click on Theme or Style options
Select one of the AI-generated themes

Theme Selection

Your AI themes appear alongside default Scoop themes:

Named after your presentation
Available for any visualization in that canvas
Can be applied to multiple charts for consistency

Example: Theme Generation

Original Presentation:

Generated Color Scheme:

Applied to Visualization:

Notice how the chart colors complement the slide design without clashing.

Color Theory Applied

Scoop's AI uses color theory principles:

Principle	Application
Complementary colors	Ensures chart elements are distinguishable
Color harmony	Creates pleasing combinations
Contrast ratios	Maintains readability
Saturation balance	Prevents visual fatigue

Best Practices

When to Use AI Themes

Always when using imported presentations
When brand consistency matters
For client-facing materials
When design polish is important

Theme Consistency

Use the same AI theme across all visualizations in a presentation
Consider Bold theme for projection, Standard for print
Test on your actual display environment

Manual Adjustments

If the AI theme doesn't quite fit:

Select the closest AI theme as a starting point
Manually adjust individual chart colors
Save custom colors for reuse

Troubleshooting

Theme Not Generated

Ensure presentation was imported (not just uploaded as image)
Check that PowerPoint had defined theme colors
Try reimporting the presentation

Colors Don't Match Expectations

Verify using the AI theme, not a default theme
Check if presentation had unusual color combinations
Consider using manual color selection

Theme Missing in Dropdown

Refresh the browser
Verify you're editing the correct canvas
Check theme settings in canvas properties
