can you please specify which control you are using.

Same as solution 1, only I don't see what this has to do with comboboxes. I assume that you're using a ToolStripMenu:

C#
private void myToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Red;
}

My +5. Succinct and actually answered the OP's question first
Here is a code (ToolStripMenu):

C#
private void myToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Red;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Green;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Blue;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Black;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.White;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Gray;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
    myToolStripMenuItem.BackColor = Color.Magenta;
    //and more
}

You can double-click it(the menu) and then write the ".BackColor or .BackgroundColor" = "Color._____".

If you using onother menu you must do the same: nameMenu.BackColor = Color.YourColor

Thanks and how to change the border color of the menu ?
Try this my friend
Goto event properties of the combobox (Menu) double click on Mouse Click event
then use the following code.

C#
private void comboBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            comboBox1.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        }

Hey its me again. The border color is the same, but ForgegroundColor:

nameMenu.ForeColor = Color.YourColor;

NOTE: It's for all Windows Forms Toolbox items like buttons, menues, textbox and more.

It easy!

I hope I was helpful!

:)

Just for infomation - it's generally considered a bit rude to post a second solution - use the Improve solution link if you have extra stuff to add. I've done this myself and had my wrist gently slapped too! :-)
