Use Quick Styles

You can apply a Quick Style to an item on the Work Area to change its fill, border or line color, style, effect and font.

To apply a Quick Style to an item (or multiple items), select it/them (How?), and click Quick Styles in the Shape Style group of the Home tab. Select a Quick Style from the menu that appears.

Note: When you change the theme, the color of the Quick Style is changed to match the new theme, but the effects, font color, line style and line color will remain unchanged.
