Switching Forms 6.0 text item background colors

[Quoted] Dear Forms experts...

I have a control data block called DB_CONTROL with a radio group and a pair of text items and push buttons.

(*) DEF: [___________] {btn}

( ) OFF: [___________] {btn}

I'm using come code to switch the enabled propery and the background colors of one of the two pairs of text items and puch buttons a text box in a WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED procedure.

The ENABLED property switch works fine, but I can't seem to change the background color from white to grey or vice versa. The background color
remains stuck at the original color.

here's a fragment of the W-R-C code. Any ideas on what I'm missing?

ELSIF :DB_CONTROL.RGB_CRITERIA = 'DEF' THEN     --TURN ON THE FOLLOWING
    Set_Item_Property('DB_CONTROL.TI_DEFENDANT',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);     Set_Item_Property
('DB_CONTROL.TI_DEFENDANT',BACKGROUND_COLOR,'white');

    Set_Item_Property
('DB_CONTROL.BTN_DEFENDANT_LOV',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);     --TURN OFF THE FOLLOWING
    Set_Item_Property
('DB_CONTROL.TI_OFFICER',BACKGROUND_COLOR,'gray20');

    Set_Item_Property('DB_CONTROL.TI_OFFICER',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
    :DB_CONTROL.TI_OFFICER := NULL;
    Set_Item_Property
