Работает. Изменяемый цвет - это цвет фона, который используется, например, в списках. Итак, добавьте в форму список со списком, нажмите кнопку и наблюдайте за магией: o) Если вы хотите установить цвет фона формы, вам нужно будет использовать другое значение элемента. Я нашел пост с перечислением допустимых значений :
Public Enum SystemColor As Integer
ScrollBar = 0 'The Scrollbar colour '
BackGround = 1 'Colour of the background with no wallpaper '
ActiveCaption = 2 'Caption of Active Window '
InactiveCaption = 3 'Caption of Inactive window '
Menu = 4 'Menu '
Window = 5 'Windows background '
WindowFrame = 6 'Window frame '
MenuText = 7 'Window Text '
WindowText = 8 '3D dark shadow (Win95) '
CaptionText = 9 'Text in window caption '
ActiveBorder = 10 'Border of active window '
InactiveBorder = 11 'Border of inactive window '
AppWorkspace = 12 'Background of MDI desktop '
Highlight = 13 'Selected item background '
HighlightText = 14 'Selected menu item '
BtnFace = 15 'Button '
BtnShadow = 16 '3D shading of button '
GrayText = 17 'Grey text, of zero if dithering is used. '
BtnText = 18 'Button text '
InactiveCaptionText = 19 'Text of inactive window '
BtnHightList = 20 '3D highlight of button '
SecondActiveCatpion = 27 'Win98 only: 2nd active window color '
SecondInactiveCaption = 28 'Win98 only: 2nd inactive window color '
End Enum
Однако это меняет цвет фона всех запущенных программ (пока ваша программа работает). Это не кажется мне очень приятным занятием ...

Что касается ссылки с примером: это то, что ваш код сделал с моим экземпляром Word во время работы приложения:
