    Where to find font color Blue Accent 5?

    Why do you need this? I suspect for an assignment of some sort. The person who wrote the assignment may not understand Word.

    Here is the color palette in a particular theme. You can change all of the top row of colors and which color will be Accent 5 will depend on the Theme or on custom colors.

    If you put your pointer over a Theme Color on the palette, it will show you the color.

    There is no "Blue Accent 5," but "Accent 5" is the name of a Theme Color position.

    You could have Blue as the color in that position, in which case it would show up as Blue, Accent 5.

    Look at Colors under the Design Tab.

    When using the Office 2023 Theme, Accent 5 is a light blue. In the Office 2013-2022 Theme, Accent 5 is Blue.

    You can use the Font Color tool under the Design tab. The following shows some of the built-in palettes you can use.

    So, if you pick the color pallet for Office 2013-2022, Accent 5 will be Blue.

    You can also customize the colors and just set Accent 5 to be Blue.

    This is the same color as the Standard Color Blue but then would not change in your document if you change Themes.

    Dear Liezl Irish Jankowski,

    Based on your description, you can apply Blue, Accent 5 from the theme-color palette in Microsoft Word. Kindly try these steps:

    Find Blue, Accent 5

    Select the text you want to format.

    On the Home tab, locate the Font group.

    Select the arrow beside Font Color (the A with a colored underline).

    Under Theme Colors, point to the blue swatches until the tooltip displays Blue, Accent 5, then select it. Change the font color in a Word document | Microsoft Support

    Note: The exact shade and its position may differ because Microsoft 365’s newer Office theme uses an updated color palette. If your instructions expect the older color, choose Design > Themes and use Office Theme 2013–2022, then check Font Color again. New Office theme | Microsoft Support

    I hope the information shared helps point you in the right direction.
