The colors you see in the Recolor gallery are determined by the current theme colors, as set on the Design tab. The selections include the "Background" color and the six "Accent" colors. These colors are also used for font colors in some headings and for some other features.
You can choose a different theme by clicking the Themes button on the Design tab and selecting from the gallery. Alternatively, you can modify the set of colors used by any theme (built-in or custom). On the Design tab, click the Colors button and select one of the color sets (such as the one named Violet). Or click the Customize Colors item at the bottom of the gallery, which opens a dialog where you can change any or all of the colors of the current selection.
