Interestingly enough, I can set the back color to anything I please on labels and grids and they look fine when I run the app.

I'm running WindowsNT and it is set to 16777216 colors. This behaviour appears to only apply to forms that are subclassed (but the shape itself is not). I've tried deleting the shape and adding a new one with that color -RGB(249,247,200) - but it looks the same...
