Metro framework is open source and you are attempting to change the background color of Win form.I believe WPF has an option to change the background color but, as i see you are using windows form, its not possible though as you can only change the darkness that is lighter or more darker the background you can make only.

I believe there is a GitHub fork that you can look into to get some idea on this framework and they have done some practice to change the background color.

GitHub - dennismagno/metroframework-modern-ui: My humble attempt to bring the new Modern UI alias Metro UI of Windows 8 to .NET Windows Forms applications.[^]
