Use Windows System Colors For Your Forms:
By setting
your Microsoft® Access® form colors to the Windows system color IDs, your application will
match the Windows color scheme! Then, if a user wants to change the colors
of your application, they can do so by going to Control Panel>Display>Appearance.
