<fillRef> (Fill Reference)

This element defines a reference to a fill style within the style matrix. The @idx attribute refers to the index of a fill style or background fill style within the presentation's style matrix, defined by the <fmtScheme> element. A value of 0 or 1000 indicates no background, values 1-999 refer to the index of a fill style within the <fillStyleLst> element, and values 1001 and above refer to the index of a background fill style within the <bgFillStyleLst> element. The value 1001 corresponds to the first background fill style, 1002 to the second background fill style, and so on.

example: 
<a:fillRef idx="2">
  <a:schemeClr val="accent2"/>
</a:fillRef>

The above code indicates the object is to have the style's second fill style using the accent2 color of the color scheme.

example: 
<a:fillRef idx="1001">
  <a:schemeClr val="accent2"/>
</a:fillRef>

The above code indicates the object is to have the style's first background fill style using the accent2 color of the color scheme.
