Removed JavaScript tag as this clearly has nothing to do with it.

I think what you mean is to "skin" your WinForm. We are achieving this using the DeveloperExpress SkinFramework (commercial product) with our own custom colors. Here is a link:

Projects do not have colors, the question makes no sense. :-)

Application… and the color of the application also makes no sense. Colors start from a Form, with System.Window.Forms. Indeed, it you set, say, BackColor for a form, this color will be inherited hierarchically by controls. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.aspx[^], the "Remark" section, about AmbientProperties:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.ambientproperties.aspx[^].

I think this is what you need.
