Do you mean change color while the left mouse button is down, or change color permenantly after it's clicked?

For the first choice, you need to add a trigger (in your XAML) that changes the color when the button is pressed. In the second, you could bind the button's Background property to a property in the form that's set when the button is clicked. You probably have to derive your form from INotifyPropertyChanged in order to get that binding to work.
