I think the purpose of changing the backcolor of forms may be for different themes, in which case the following article may be useful to you

This is how you can apply backcolor to all forms within your project.

C#

using System.Reflection;

private void btnChangeFormColor(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    colorDialog1.ShowDialog();
    Color backcolor = colorDialog1.Color;

    //Get all Forms within the project
    Type[] AllTypesInProjects = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes();
    for(int i=0;i<AllTypesInProjects.Length;i++)
    {
        if (AllTypesInProjects[i].BaseType == typeof(Form))
        {
            /* Convert Type to Object */
            Form f = (Form)Activator.CreateInstance(AllTypesInProjects[i]);
            f.BackColor = backcolor;            
        }

    }

}
