You can use the SystemColor enumeration - if you do, the colours will be
applied by the current theme of the operating system.
Unfortunately the Winforms controls provided by MS do not support all the
theming/color capabilities of some applications you see - if you want all a
fancy GUI you'll need a third party toolkit like Infragistics.
