This background is for a slide that wants depth without any brightness pulling focus away from the content. A near-monochrome dark blue gradient deepens toward the right, with one large circle silhouette barely visible against the base tone. Free, HD, and watermark-free for Google Slides or PowerPoint.
What This Dark Blue Gradient Background Looks Like
The base color sits deep in the navy family throughout, growing a shade darker toward the right edge, so the shift is felt more than clearly seen at first glance.
A single large circle sits in the upper left, rendered only a fraction lighter than the surrounding gradient, giving the composition quiet structure without introducing a second color.
Where This Background Fits
This suits executive and boardroom presentations, tech and cybersecurity decks, night-mode or dark-themed slides, and any content that wants a serious, minimal background with no distracting color.
Design Choices Behind This Subtle Circle Silhouette
I kept this one almost monochrome on purpose. A single deep blue, barely shifting in tone, reads as serious and controlled in a way that a multi-color gradient never quite manages, which matters for high-stakes or formal presentations.
Lowering the contrast on the circle to near-invisible was a deliberate restraint too. It gives the background just enough structure to avoid feeling flat, without ever competing with white text or a logo placed on top.

Legibility Tip for This Background
White or light gray text reads clearly across the entire frame, since the base tone stays dark and even throughout. Avoid dark blue or navy text, as it will disappear completely.
