Use the BackColor and ForeColor properties to define the control's background and foreground colors ( when the control is not locked ) . Use the BackColorAlternate property to specify the background color for alternate lines. Use the Picture property to assign a picture on the control's background. The BackColorLocked property specifies the control's background while it is locked. The Locked property specifies whether the control is read-only.

With HTML1
    .BackColor = ColorConstants.vbWhite
End With

m_html.SetBackColor( RGB(255,255,255) );
