Changing a document theme or color scheme can be confusing. To change your current theme, switch to a different one, or create a new theme, you use slightly different commands, depending on which app you are using: Options tab in an Outlook message. Design tab in an Access form. Change theme colors. More about themes. There are a couple of ways to change a calendar’s color in Microsoft Outlook 2010 and 2013. Method A: Change the calendar color with right-clicking. Microsoft Outlook provides us with the Color feature in the right-clicking menu, so that you can change a calendar’s color with right-clicking quickly. Microsoft Outlook 365 gives you the option to show a message with a white background. If you like the black theme, but you do not want to change the background of the new and existing messages, then go to file options general tab. Once in the general tab, check the box, never change the message background-color. The default color scheme of Microsoft Office 2010 is silver. Two additional color schemes — blue and black — are available. The color scheme changes the user interface background of the Outlook program window and backgrounds for most program elements including the Navigation Pane, To-Do-Bar, ribbon, message headers, and forms for contacts and tasks.
