How can I get the standard back ground color of a form?

[mls via AccessMonster.com]

I changed the color of my custom switch board form and could not change back
to the form original color as none of the colors in the fill/back color
matches the original color( one which is default when we create a new FORM).
Any thoughts?

You didn't mention which Access version, but recent versions let you choose
More colors and then select any color you want. Alternatively, create a new
blank form and the detail section's background color setting. Paste it into
the form you want to update. Or open a backup copy of your db from before
you made the change you now want to reverse and copy the color setting from
there. If you don’t have backups, now would be a very good time to start.

Open a form in design view that has the color you want, right click, scroll
to the bottom, and select properties. Click on Format, scroll to Back Color,
and copy the code it displays.
Open your form in the same way and paste the code.
