Thanks for your response. I just tried display these pictures in same color as labels which placed on same background. because labels forecolor using GetSysColor(), it might have diffrent color schemas.. problem not only in mixing pictures colors with background. Problem - to create own color schema, where labels forecolor and pictures color will same.
Example what I doing now - its VS.NET TabFrame MDI interface.. where Tabs caption, tab separators and close button and arrows button in same color schema.

Thanks

If you just want to prevent image mixing with back color (which makes image unreadible when backcolor is same as image color) then you need to make contours on image of another color. IMHO shadow or bevel effects produce nice borders to make image readible on any background.
