Cyan Striped Background For Google Slides With Cool Horizontal Bands

This background is for a slide that wants a cool, refreshing tone in a simple, orderly pattern. Soft cyan horizontal bands run across the frame at an even width, alternating with pale gaps in a calm, steady rhythm. Free, HD, and watermark-free for Google Slides or PowerPoint.

What This Cyan Striped Background Looks Like

The stripes run horizontally rather than vertically, giving the pattern a more grounded, settled feel, like still water or layered sky rather than a vertical fabric print.

The cyan itself stays cool and clean throughout, without drifting toward green or deep blue, keeping the whole pattern feeling fresh and aquatic.

Where This Background Fits

This suits beach and travel presentations, wellness and spa brand decks, tech product slides that want a cool accent color, and summer-themed content that wants water without a literal photo.

Design Choices Behind This Horizontal Rhythm

I ran these stripes horizontally rather than vertically because a horizontal rhythm reads as calmer and more stable, closer to a horizon line than an upright pattern. That stillness suits a cool color like cyan particularly well.

Keeping the palette to one clean cyan, with no secondary color, means this background stays flexible enough to sit behind almost any content without introducing an unplanned color into your slide.

Legibility Tip for This Background

Dark navy or charcoal text reads cleanly against these cyan bands. Since the pattern repeats evenly, a headline works well placed anywhere on the slide.
