If you go to `preferences -> interface` you can change the theme you are using. Is this what you mean?

No, the default site theme that every user sees before they change.

To change the default theme you need to go to `admin -> customise -> themes` go to pink theme and uncheck the `Theme is enabled by default`. Then go to the theme you want as a default and check the `Theme is enabled by default`
