I reckon thats's exactly why we should choose
not to choose colours for our users. They've already made the choice with their Windows scheme, and if they've any special needs, they've covered them in the comprehensive set of options that Windows provides. I'm always a little disconcerted to see that a developer has specified (say) the the backcolour of a pageframe to what appears to be a standard grey. This only shows up when the user has decided to use something else as their Windows dialog backcolor, but then it
really stands out.
