Hi Jacque, I missed the fact that the color didn't start until under the tabs.
Definitely seeing the blending though. It's only noticeable if you pick a light color, harder to see if you use a dark color. Try putting a field next to the tab control and setting both the backgrounds to Alice Blue, I think you'll see what I mean. Maybe "blending" isn't the right word. What I mean is that the chosen color appears darker than it should, presumably because it's somehow mixed in with the the normal grey background of the tab.
