Changing the Office 2010 Colour Scheme

The default colour scheme for Office 2010 is silver, however on some monitors this does not always give a lot of definition between the panes in Outlook or between the Word document and the background.

You can change this scheme to increase the contrast:

  1. In Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint, click on the File tab and select Options
  2. Under General select your desired Color scheme
  3. Click OK
  4. The changes have been applied to each application. Examples are included overleaf.

The available choices:

Silver

Blue

Black

Outlook

Word

Excel

PowerPoint
