You can learn a lot by reading the documentation

Look at the properties of the control that you want to change.

Your question isn't as clear as it could be. I am interpreting it as "how can I get the color that was selected on the dialog box passed to the main form where I want to use that color"

@NotPoliticallyCorrect has given you a good link if it is only color you are interested in...ColorDialog Class (System.Windows.Forms)[^]

If you want to pass more general information from a Dialog to a form have a look at this Tip - Transferring information between two forms, Part 2: Child to Parent[^] - it's a simpler to read version of what is going on in Solution 1.
