Recoloring a Picture
You can recolor clip art and other objects to match the color scheme of your document. For example, if you use a flower clip art as your business logo, you can change shades of pink in the spring to shades of orange in the autumn. The Picture Recolor gallery (New!) provides a variety of different formatting combinations. You can also use a transparent background in your picture to avoid conflict between its background color and your document’s background. With a transparent background, the picture takes on the same background as your document.
