I guess you'll regret even more when you hear some bad news - forget about what you are trying to do. As far as I can tell, canvas background color can be set to any color offered in the Background Color Palette. Although you know RGB components of the color you picked in your paint program (such as r191g223b191), you can't use it because you'll get "FRM-12305: Color by this name does not exist".

Therefore, pick any color (from the palette) similar to the one you chose. Or, alternatively, follow these instructions which will make it possible to use exactly the same color (but you'll first have to create a rectangle in your paint program, fill it with that color, save the image, and then import it into your form).
