I'm creating a powerpoint presentation in powerpoint 2010, and I want to add a graphic, the background of which would be the same as the background of the powerpoint presentation. How do I determine the color code for the presentation's background, and then use that color code in microsoft paint to change the background of my graphic? Now in the program's color dialog, choose PMS, pick the color you want to convert, then change the color model to RGB. You can use the same technique to convert from CMYK to RGB. TruMatch colors are actually CMYK values, so again, the same technique applies. Will the conversions be perfect? Sometimes they'll be pretty good, sometimes not.
