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 have used Microsoft Products since 1982 - this is a giant stuff up. Please get this fixed up urgently. The lack of contrast in the UI makes it very tedious to work with - and it just looks awful - nothing like an Apple product.

    The theme is horrible and way to light, very weary for the eyes, I use outlook most often too. Microsoft went from a professional look to a more apple/social/casual design. Please go back!

    Please give us some color options, this is ridiculous.  Had office 2013 installed and within 1 minute was already in the options changing the color, and none of the choices were acceptable.  Then the next thing I did was look for answers and here I am along with everyone else, wondering what the heck were the developers at Microsoft thinking.  I have used Microsoft office since its inception, this release is a color disaster.

    For partially sighted people the "whiteness" of the sceen overwhelms what little sight they have got. The lack of colour difference between the different parts of the working area means they cannot see the menus etc quickly or easily - this is seriously slowing them down and reducing the amount of time they can actually work! I have good eyesight and I have to keep taking a break! Please bring back the ability for people to customise their own work space within each of the office applications - it will make you a lot of friends!
