Have you ever underlined important notes with highlighter pens? This method is used to assist us in recalling the key details of a lecture or presentation, no matter how much time passes.
The same technique can be used in Google Slides presentations to highlight the most crucial information on a single slide.
You can enter a lot of information into a presentation and still get your point across to the audience. Realistically, it's still viable, but not without clever design techniques.
One strategy is to highlight a particular section, which helps to bring more focus to it.
Basically, all you need to do is make the background color of the text stand out from the rest of the body. The service offers a large selection of pre-set basic colors, colors based on themes, and other values.

Note: You can choose from the pre-selected color palette, which shows the most used colors. If you're unsure of those colors, you can use your cursor to select a custom-made color from the 'Custom' menu.
