[AccessD] Background color when modifying

I am working on a database.  The labels are apparently transparent and the form has a background 
pattern (one of those auto form thingies).  When I click in the label for a control and then click 
again to edit the caption, the background color turns this obnoxious dark red-ish brown and makes it 
darned near impossible to see the blue font.

Does anyone know if that is a property somewhere that I can modify?  This is not a runtime property, 
it is a design time property.
