Use Graphics.DrawString() in combination with Graphics.FillRectangle()
See: Graphics.DrawString Method (System.Drawing) | Microsoft Docs[^]
This can be done in the OnPaint() event of a custom button (which inherits from Button), here is some untested code:

using System.Drawing;

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
{
        base.OnPaint(pe);
        Brush brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.Red));
        pe.Graphics.FillRectangle (brush, ClientRectangle);
        brush.Dispose();
}

Also see: Control.ClientRectangle Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Another way would be to use TextRenderer, see example here: c# - Graphics.DrawString highlight specific words - Stack Overflow[^]

As Rick has pointed out, you're going to have to draw the Button text yourself. Text on controls don't have a background color. The background is the control itself.

You should probably create a new class that inherits from Button and add the properties, and drawing code to the new class. Don't try to do this at the form level.
