Try This "this will change the color of your mdi container"

  Public Sub MDIBGColor()
        Dim ctl As Control
        Dim ctlMDI As MdiClient

        ' Loop through all of the form's controls looking
        ' for the control of type MdiClient.
        For Each ctl In Me.Controls
            Try

                ' Attempt to cast the control to type MdiClient.
                ctlMDI = CType(ctl, MdiClient)

                ' Set the BackColor of the MdiClient control.
                ctlMDI.BackColor = Me.BackColor

            Catch exc As InvalidCastException
                ' Catch and ignore the error if casting failed.
            End Try
        Next

    End Sub

and call the sub on the form load event
