   I agree with Rick's reply. But in fact, the BackColor, for instance, won't   
   change if you have set it to a palette color, such as Blue. It will change if   
   you have set it to a system color, such as Button Face. It sounds like you have   
   chosen Button Face as your form BackColor, which will be the color the user   
   chooses for button faces.
