Where is the code you have tried so far, color have another component apart from rgb, the alpha. If can see what are the rgb values you are trying then can give better answer

What does "combination" mean? Do you want to draw a gradient or something?

I suspect OP means something very different, not just the uniform color you suggest.
Will you look at my Answer?

Solution 2

Most universal answer is: construct some special brush for the background. Here are your choices: System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush, System.Drawing.TextureBrush (I omitted not very suitable classes or the solid one).

More universal would be only some arbitrary picture rendering using the instance of System.Drawing.Graphic you get from the event arguments parameter of the method System.Windows.Forms.OnPaint.

Yes I also suspect OP wants something different or confused. No response yet. Not sure he wants a texture or a blend. Let us wait. By the way the Universal solution is most welcome.

You're right. Thank you, Albin.
