Recently, we received the follow question and I thought I would share the answer with everyone:
Is there a way to change the baby blue color to something more customized or at least revert back to the same color scheme of Outlook 2003?
To change your Office theme, click “Tools” in the toolbar, then “Options”, and then on the “Mail Format” tab, click “Editor Options” as shown below:
Then select a different theme (Blue, Silver or Black) next to “Color scheme” on the “Popular” tab:
Note: the theme is Office-wide – changing it in Outlook will change Word, PowerPoint, etc. too.
Hope that helps!

Ms. MacBeth, Why has there been no additional theme development in Outlook '07? Three choices are better than one but I would hope there are more in the pipeline.
Wow - three choices. This beats the Model T by two colors. So much progress over the years.
Thanks for the info! Any chance there is a way to add more colors?
Blue, Silver and Black!? Gee, thanks Microsoft.
I would really to have a way to change the OneNote 2007 color scheme as well. I really hate the default "baby blue" theme used by the Office apps and I don't understand why all of the Office 2007 apps don't respect the user's choice of themes. I know OneNote 2007 doesn't use the Fluent interface, which is sad in my opinion, as it would be a great app to update with that interface. When the rest of my computing environment in Vista and Office 2007 uses predominantly black color schemes, OneNote 2007 really stands out as an eyesore with its light blue interface elements. Why doesn't it at least follow the global OS theme?
I do not have the choice "editor option" under tools/option/mail formats. ... Where is it? I use Outlook 2003...
... Where is it? Nowhere, because the article is about OL 2007
It helped me to change the color but still selected item color is appearing in blue .I am unable to change it to silver help me out.
