I would like to use the title color of my beamer presentation (some kind of blue) to write some inline text with the same color. Therefore I want to know the color definition. Is there a command for using the same color as the title?

My preamble definitions are:

\mode<presentation>
{
  \usetheme{Warsaw}
}
\usecolortheme{crane}

EDIT:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{caption}

\mode<presentation>
{
  \usetheme{Warsaw}
}
\usecolortheme{crane}


\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}{\bf This is the title's color I want to ``copy''}
        \begin{itemize}
            \item 
            I want to use the ``blue'' color from the title for the caption of the table.
        \end{itemize}
        \vspace{1.5\baselineskip}

        \begin{table}
            \begin{tabular}{c|c}
                table1 & trial \\
                \hline
                \hline
                1 & 2 \\
                3 & 4
            \end{tabular}
            \caption*{My table}
        \end{table}     
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

  • Do you mean presentation title or frame title color? Could you post a compilable minimal example? Only with theme Warsaw and crane color theme there's no title with some kind of blue color.

You can copy the color from the frame title this way:

\caption*{\usebeamercolor[fg]{frametitle}{My table}}

The command \usebeamercolor[fg]{title in head/foot} (see p. 186 http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf) should provide you with the (text) color used in the header, even if you later decide to change your theme or change the title text color yourself in the preamble.
