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

    Concur with just about every post here. 2013 needs some color and darker options. It's awful, particularly Outlook.

    Beauty is only skin deep.

    (Quote from Murphy's law)

    Would be so simple to create a skin and make it look better.  I'm susprises there is not ANY 3rd-party app or skin to do so.

    Don't want to repeat what everyone else has said, but I concur a zillion percent. My issue is that not only are these color options crappy, but it's a brand new computer. I have no option to roll back to a previous version of Office. Adding to the problem is that apparently these new-fangled touch-screens designed to work with Windows 8 have EXTREME glare. I assume most people have a window in the room where their computer is located. I can see every single blade of grass in the reflection on my screen. My desk is a huge hunk of cherry wood, and I'd have to pay someone to move it so that my computer screen wouldn't receive the window glare. Gee, it would be so much easier if I could adjust the colors of Microsoft Office to compensate for the glare! You know, that very basic thing that Microsoft should have never considered taking away from its customers and shouldn't be thinking twice about rolling out immediately!
