Has anyone done any research (or even just any ideas) on the best colour
scheme to use for forms? I don't like the default grey background.... but
is it the best?

Thoughts?
 
The default grey background is not necessarily the user's default. Although
MS has set this as the default in the Windows Standard color scheme, a user
may have a user defined color scheme and have some color other than grey
for 3d objects. Users with the High Contrast setting for example will have
black or white backgrounds.

I stumbled upon an article in MSDN a couple of weeks ago when I was looking
for color manipulation, and although it is for web-design, the principles
are going to be the same, so it may be worth a look:
