Default Tabbed forms color

I have a form that created and upon review due to the large amount of
information on one form it was decided that it was better to use tabs. I
wanted to know how I would change the grey background color as I can not see
my boxes anymore.

Or do I need to redo the entire form?

Unfortunately, you can't change the color of the built-in tab control.
However, you can do something that makes it look like it:

Or, you can just use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle on your tab pages
and use the Format Send to Back to make it show up behind your controls.
