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

    Thank you for the feedback on Office’s new look. We are actively collecting, sorting and reading through feedback on Office 2013’s design and User Experience. As the audience for Office 2013 grows, we are being mindful of patterns and pain points that emerge from user feedback. While we do not have any additional Themes planned at this time, it is an issue we are watching very closely.

    You need to begin planning additional themes now and not wait for more patterns and pain points to emerge.  This is a HUGE pain point for most everyone that has installed Office 2013.   Best advice: quit watching and start doing.

    The only comfort I get from this is knowing that I didn't spend a lot of money on this product only to be stuck with an unusable set of theme choices.  I read everyones posts to this point and have not found one positive response to the "look and feel" of this product.

    If MS is really "actively collectiong, sorting and reading through feedback", then it should be fairly obvious to them by now that whoever made the choice of these themes should be fired.

    My install left the entire 2010 suite behind, so I will be using it at least until MS can get thier act together and get a Service pack released with themes that actually don't offend.

    I have to say that I like a lot of the features this release has to offer, and I will be keeping the install so I can use some of those features, but until the visibility issue is cleared up, Office 2010 will be my default.

    These comments are also being forwarded back to my IT department so my company won't have to make the same mistakes so many others have obviously already made.

    Bring back the Black theme to office. Every single time there is something really good in your programs, the next version doesn't have it or you can't use it with that version.

    Either send me a refund for Office 2013, or send me a Copy of Office 2010. I want my Black color scheme back, NOW!
