Sorry! You can't change the color for buttons.
But you can create image items with colorful pictures and write your code
in WHEN-IMAGE-PRESSED trigger.
The catch is you can not assign a picture at design time. You have to
populate the image items before starting the form in PRE-FORM or
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger with READ_IMAGE_FILE procedure.
With this your form looks colourful and works the same way as regular buttons.
