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

    I, too, would like to voice my displeasure with the ill-conceived stock themes in Office 2013. The stark, bright backgrounds and bland, low-contrast elements cause eyestrain and fatigue. As system administrator, I cannot recommend to our users (aprox. 250 employees) that they upgrade to this latest version.

    Microsoft needs to fix this ASAP.

    I've just installed November updates (15.0.4551.1005) and it still does not fix this issue.  ;-(

    Have you sorted this nightmare or what?  Either give us BLACK, or an option to pick any CMYK colour.

    Best improvement since 2003 was the black option for outlook on my multi monitor setup

    It even made up for having to buy ribbon alternatives...

    Bought Office 365 licenses but planned to use in desktop mode.

    Ouch !!!!

    Looks like the cook retired and MS lost the recipe. I am going to ask for my money back. Going back to Office 2010.
