Thanks, Tracy. I see you're also using Grid.BackColor as default color. That's all I wanted to confirm.
For some reason I recall that Marcia Akins had some code determening some default colors, but I forgot in what context that message was and when I tried to search, I could not find that message.
So, I guess, just Grid.DynamicBackColor is going to do the job.
Hopefully this answers William's question.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
