Change Color Theme in Microsoft Word

Nov. 12, 2024

In Microsoft Word, we can change color theme in Design > Colors12. There are several built-in themes available for us:

One change brought by altering the theme is color palette. For example, in default theme Office we have:

and for theme Blue Warm:

and Red Violet:

And more importantly, component colors are different in different themes. Take a built-in CV template, similarly for theme Office, Blue Warm, and Red Violet:

fig2

fig3

And of course, we can customize our own theme and save it (see Customize Colors option under Colors in Fig. 1):
