<fmtScheme> (Format Scheme)

This element contains the background fill styles, effect styles, fill styles, and line styles which define the style matrix for a theme. The style matrix consists of subtle, moderate, and intense fills, lines, and effects. The background fills are not generally thought of to directly be associated with the matrix, but do play a role in the style of the overall document. Usually, a given object will choose a single line style, a single fill style, and a single effect style in order to define the overall final look of the object.

example:

In this example, we see a shape styled which utilizes different aspects from the above defined style matrix. ]
