Windows 10 comes with a dark theme and light theme, giving you some control over the look and feel of the general operating system and all its apps and settings.

The Office applications allow for some additional customization, by offering its own set of themes you can choose from. When you select an Office theme, it will be universal across all Office apps—but it does not extend out to the rest of the operating system.

Depending on the way you change the theme, you can choose your Office theme for the one PC only, or all computers that you access your Office apps on.

The following tutorial demonstrates how to change the Microsoft Office 2016 theme color when you’re using a version of the Windows operating system.
