Remarks

Using Office theme colors let's you coordinate the color scheme of your add-in with the current Office theme selected by the user with File > Office Account > Office Theme UI, which is applied across all Office host applications. Using Office theme colors is appropriate for Outlook and task pane add-ins.

Example

function applyOfficeTheme(){
    // Get office theme colors.
    var bodyBackgroundColor = Office.context.officeTheme.bodyBackgroundColor;
    var bodyForegroundColor = Office.context.officeTheme.bodyForegroundColor;
    var controlBackgroundColor = Office.context.officeTheme.controlBackgroundColor
    var controlForegroundColor = Office.context.officeTheme.controlForegroundColor;

    // Apply body background color to a CSS class.
    $('.body').css('background-color', bodyBackgroundColor);
}
