20.1.4.2.10 fillRef

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.

end example]

[Example:

  <a:schemeClr val="accent2"/>
</a:fillRef>
