You can change the theme in Office by clicking File > Account page in any Office product with the exception of Outlook. In Outlook, Click File > Office Account to change the theme.

There are three themes available in Office 2013:

White - Default

Light Gray

Dark Gray

    It's been almost 3 years since these posts about the awful color scheme in office 365 and still horrible as ever.  Does Microsoft care about making things better or are you so big, you think "to **** with out customers"???  Choices are white, gray or horrid green.  Why can't WE CHOOSE what color background we want?  And if we can, why is it so damn difficult to figure out how or where to do that?????

    Perhaps, Microsoft would create the "Blue" theme they had in Office 2010 for us?  Something with color?  Anything but gray and white?  PRETTY PLEASE?!?!?  We're begging.

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHahahhaahhahaaaaa!

    NEVER!

    You're at their mercy now!

    Since Microsoft doesn't provide a solution...  Kudos to the genius who figured out how to change the HEX colors in the .dll files (see https://officethemehacker.wordpress.com/). 

    Huhmm... interesting. Wonder if it works...

    Since MS has ignored this request for years, I believe that they will only pay attention if individuals start discussing switching operating systems to Linux, for example.  That is what they fear the most.

    People have discussed that in this thread, Alan. One assumes that whole corporations really are considering switching. Nevertheless, Micro$oft really appear not to give a @#$@! 

    It's incredible how oblivious to customer feedback they are.
