Generate an on-brand Canva deck from your Brand Kit
Name your Brand Kit and its exact colours explicitly so Canva Magic Design builds the whole deck from your palette instead of its own template theme.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Create a 10-slide presentation about: Our Q3 product roadmap, for the all-hands meeting. Brand Kit: use the "Acme Co. — Primary" Brand Kit. Apply its logo to the title and closing slides, use its saved colours (primary #1B4B43, secondary #F2C14E, neutral #FAFAF7) as the only palette, and use its saved fonts for every heading and body element. Do not introduce colours or fonts outside this kit. Audience: The whole company, most of whom are not on the product team. Tone: Upbeat but specific — real dates and owners, not just themes.

Why this works
Canva’s Brand Kit mechanics only bite when a generation prompt references the kit by name and states its assets explicitly — an unnamed "use my brand colours" request is exactly the phrasing Magic Design most often ignores in favour of its own template palette, because it has nothing concrete to apply. Stating the hex codes directly, not just the kit name, is a second layer of insurance: Magic Design snaps to explicit values far more reliably than it looks up a saved kit’s values on its own. "Do not introduce colours outside this kit" closes the most common failure mode — Magic Design adding an accent colour from its own default theme to a chart or icon it generates.
What you get back
A 10-slide deck with the Acme Co. logo on the title and closing slides, every heading in the Brand Kit’s heading font, body copy in its body font, and every chart, icon and background pulling only from #1B4B43 / #F2C14E / #FAFAF7 — no stray template colours.
