Horrified to see a random change to the theme colors and as you can see from the screenshot, the "current selection" isn't reflected in what's rendering. This is serious bug that needs to be addressed by Msft immediately.

I only had an issue with a bug affecting Sharepoint's theme (which can be customized). So maybe a different issue? But quite possible the change you mentioned was done in a hamfisted way that impacted SP too.

I guess we are stuck with it, but I will be digging around and experimenting to get the old look and feel back. They should have just made a new theme AVAILABLE and not just jammed in a new one.
As of today, I'm seeing a HUGE change as well. The colors and the font has changed. The 'default' themes in (at least) Outlook and Excel have completely new brighter colors. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to select the 'old' one because I don't know what its name was. You will see in my screen grab that the new default is the selected one and I'm not sure which one it used to be. I'm also attaching the actual color pallet that is loaded with this new theme and the new default font.
ICK!
Thanks John. You can't see all the colors in our selected theme but the green color seen in the main nav bar certainly isn't one of them. When I reselected the theme, it corrected itself and normally I'd blame user error but very few users have access to change themes. The main concern is the discrepancy between what is shown as the "selected theme" which is correct versus the actual colors used which are not.
From your screen shot, we can't tell what colors are set in your theme, or whether the displayed colors reflect the selected colors. Does this problem only appear when the file is uploaded to SharePoint? How does it appear in PowerPoint on your desktop? If possible, please upload the theme in question to a cloud service, then post a share link here so we can take a look at the file. Or if that's not possible, you can email the theme file to me at the address in my signature.
