You cannot change the colors of the tabs and borders with the standard
TabControl.
You can OwnerDraw the tabs and fill them with any color you like, but the
borders will remain the same.

For an example of OwnerDraw see http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrols.html

TabControlEx will probably do exactly what you want and it's also Free:
