Setting Background Colour to a Label

[kronecker]

I want to set the custom colour &H0000BDBF& which I got from a colour
picker program. I need to set this as the background colour to a
Label.

I tried Label1.backgroundcolor = etc but it is not expecting an
integer.

Label1.BackgroundColor = Color.Red

You could use Label1.backcolor = Color.FromArgb(&H6700BDBF&). The value you
had would have a fully transparent alpha value, so you would not see the
color.
