Access form background color

Question

I inadvertantly changed the background color of my access form. (I had the form instead of a control selected when I wanted to change the background of a control using the color palette on the toolbar and did not realize what I had done until too late to use Undo.)

Now I cannot change the background color of the form back to the Access 2002 default color. The default color does not appear to be in the color palette.

Can anyone help please. With VBA or any way possible.

Thank you Graham. I thought to open the form's properties I should click on the little square top left where the ruler lines meet and of course I could not find the property I needed; I didn't realize that I needed to click on the actual form's background.

I am learning a little more about this access every day.
