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

    Just to throw in my two cents... these three options are lousy.  I can repeat every other person's complaint on this thread... horrible, horrible, horrible... there is simply not enough distinct color variation between the white and grey... Here's a novel thought, make the gray - BLACK!

     I see lots of narcissism in software designers today, shame on them.  

    Equal parts narcissism and justifying the security of their jobs. Once a design is perfected it is extremely difficult to keep iterating on and thus the designers are no longer required or necessary. 

    Removing things, simplifying things etc.. is their only justification for their continued existence in gainful employment.

    They're not adding anymore colour to the interface in the next iteration, in fact, they're adding only one more theme and that's dark grey. They're ignoring the masses of feedback they've received against the drastic interface change between 2010 and 2013. They don't care what you think, because their vision is Metro.

    Not surprised, MS designers are into self-gratification NOT customer application.  I believe they stopped Beta testing MS software years ago as their customer feedback was contrary to their myopic design goals.  I see lots of narcissism in software designers today, shame on them.  My next computer might have to be an Apple.

    I get migraines and these color options are not good. Each one makes my my eyes burn and my head ache. Please give us some better options, as I work for the government and they have deployed this to all of our computers. I have no choice but to look at this and get a daily migraine. Please fix this!!!
