Type	Description
Color	A Color object representing the background color specified by the appearance object’s settings.

Remarks

If the appearance object’s AppearanceOptions.UseBackColor property is set to false and the appearance object has a parent, this method returns the parent’s background color. Otherwise, the current appearance object’s AppearanceObject.BackColor property value is returned.
